Researchers stated that learning and applying certain set of lexical bundles of native lecturers by non-native lecturers would help students improve their proficiency through incidental vocabulary input. The present study shed light on the lexical bundles in hard science lectures used by Native and Non-native lecturers in international universities with the main purpose of analyzing the structu...

 In most engineering colleges, giving lectures for 300 or 400 students is a practical necessity. Most lecture theatres are large and when filled up, they're intimidating to the average student and do not invite students to an active participation. They also restrict the teacher's opportunities to interact with the students. In this paper we describe a “proofof-concept” system developed at Oslo...

In this paper we present findings from a study of students' use of mobile phones in a biology course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Using a qualitative research approach we focus on how mobile phones can complement and add value to the educational challenge of encouraging university students to obtain some topic knowledge prior to their lectures. In the course mat...

In flipped-class pedagogy, students prepare themselves at home before lectures, often by watching short video clips of the course contents. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of flipped classes on motivation and learning strategies in higher education using a controlled, pre- and posttest approach. The same students were followed in a traditional course and in a course in whic...

INTRODUCTION An one hour didactic lecture is the common method of teaching in dental colleges in India. Lengthy lectures are boring and students are passive recipients of the information. Interactive lectures are suggested as a means of overcoming the disadvantages of regular lectures. AIMS The present study was conducted to pilot various methods of making lectures interactive and to find the...

A cohort of first-year biology students was surveyed regarding their opinions and viewing habits for live and recorded lectures. Most respondents (87%) attended live lectures as a rule (attenders), with 66% attending more than two-thirds of the lectures. In contrast, only 52% accessed recordings and only 13% viewed more than two-thirds of the available recordings. Respondents regarded lectures ...

These notes are a short introduction to the pinch technique. We present the one-loop calculations for basic QCD Green's functions. The equivalence between the pinch technique and the background field method is explicitly shown at the one-loop level. We review the absorptive pinch technique in the last sections. These lectures are a compilation of famous papers on this subject and are prepared f...

In these lectures I will discuss three central topics in quantum chromodynamics: (1) the use of light cone quantization and Fock space methods to determ ine the long and -short-distance structure of quark and gluon distributions within hadrons; (2) th e role of spin, heavy quarks, and nuclei in unraveling fundamental phenomenological features of QCD; and (3) a new approach to understanding the ...
