Short edited recording of a demand side
theory
class session
Thursday 6th, 2008
The first class was an exceptional representation of the natures of the
struggle and principles involved in lifting pedagogy, in a rural small
four year HBCU.
Over time, this class has begin to understand a new set of rules, both
those that should govern the behavior of freshman college students and
those governing the demand side learning environment. As these
students are all freshman, they are given time to mature as part of
college policy. This fact is openly discussed in all aspects, so
the nature of the class shifts from mathematics to social philosophy
and discussions and then back to mathematics.
The complete set of problems facing the class is represented, as this
is the purpose of he demand side principles. The class started
off with only three students, out of the 24 enrolled, and as the class
period extended the class was to include six young men after 30
mins. The audio then has its first "event" when the first young
woman comes into class, an excellent student who is not generally late,
but today was late by 30 mins. The event is that the
discussion in class anticipated her arrival. This anticipation of
events to happen begin to manifest as the class time matured into an
event that was to involve the "noisy" class next door.
The nature of this lecture starts off with a 6 min discussion of the
nature of the Native American "Old Way", and thus the various powerful
events in this class come to draw in the environment and to create a
demonstration of the full nature of demand side pedagogy.
