Clearly, YOU have no clue. It isn't my student's that are tuning out (grad or undergrad). I see how the pyramid is working for you.

Have you never lectured with interaction, examples, and input from students?

My students claim to learn much from my classes, and provide the feedback to prove it.

When I run into them (even years later), they tell me how things stick with them, because of the examples I gave, and how I tied it to something they could/can relate to.

I'm so glad you were not my teacher. They don't give a shet about history cuz they can't relate to it..... That's your job to do. And if that doesn't work, it's not the class that is failing, it's another.

I now see why you spend your day posting. It's the only forum you get feedback from.
