| Jan 27, 2018 at 2:21 | comment | added | JeffE | @JessicaB You are making the assumption that useless lectures simply do not exist. I am disagreeing with you. | |
| Jan 26, 2018 at 18:23 | comment | added | Jessica B | @JeffE You're still making the judgement of usefulness independently of whether the students attend. I am saying that the process of showing up to the lectures is itself useful, so long as the lectures are basically on the topic at hand, whether or not the students consider them suitably entertaining. | |
| Jan 26, 2018 at 15:02 | comment | added | JeffE | @JessicaB I'm not claiming that all lectures are useless. I'm concurring with the suggestion that these particular lectures may be useless. Showing up to useful lectures provides motivation. (And if students aren't consulting materials provided online, perhaps those materials are also useless!) | |
| Jan 26, 2018 at 7:41 | comment | added | Jessica B | @JeffE While it's very fashionable to say lectures are useless, I think it misses a very very important point: showing up to lectures provides motivation. As has been said above, many students to not actually use materials provided online, they just tell themselves that they will. | |
