There are people who need lectures? I found out around grade 9 that all a lecture is, is the teacher reading out loud what's in a book, I do not know what needs to be changed... actually I do. During this final year of Criminal Law, the "lectures" were not lectures, it was a sort of discussion about principles, scenarios, questions. I quite loved it, I was however puzzled that some people felt threatened by this "change" and outspokenly opposed it. They felt scared that they would not have traditional lectures, someone with a powerpoint saying what is already in the book. Seriously, these people should not be in uni. My tort lectures were also interesting as the lecturer is a solicitor and had just started lecturing so he would give real world examples and less of traditional rehashing. Compare this with psychology. The lectures were in a massive lecture theatre, about 100 to 200 people in. I asked a question once, are psychopaths born or made, the lecturer could not hear it, so I had to repeat myself 15 times, until the whole students in the lecture room started repeating it with me. Having this kind of experience puts you well off because you are supposed to make the question and move the spot light back to the lecturer straight away, not have all eyes on yourself and hold the room for long. At least that was an event, something to remember and the lecturer appreciated my question, the rest of the year however was a rehashing of the book chapters in a powerpoint with a dummy and high tech "stick". To be honest, if I want the content in audio, I'll just read it out loud myself. Those people who need lectures should not be in university, this will allow universities to have the resources to actually teach through inquisitive inquiry, not make their students sit there listening to what you already just read for two hours, which starts to become torture after 30 mins. I find it idiotic - to use the Greek word - that although the method of teaching in Oxbridge is considered to be the best, the other universities do not copy them. Neither of those two universities has lectures, the theme is rather tutoring, which is afterall why one would go to university, to challenge his intellect, not to have some person say aloud what you just read.
