I didn’t like English
- Donna Angley on 02 Jul 11
  
  We are complete opposites. I love English because I love to write and find it easy to explain why I like something I've read, how it makes me feel emotionally, etc. Writing is as natural as breathing for me. That being said, I don't understand math beyond the basics. Stats was a VERY difficult course for me, and quite frankly if it hadn't been curved I don't think I would have passed. I do understand that math is a lot more concrete; however, it still doesn't make sense to me. Like I always say, everybody is good at something.

  Try thinking about the posts as small research projects that you share with our class. If you have to respond to a comment, again - think of it as a short research assignment. You're still collaborating, but it will feel less social/personal.

  Hi Jerry, I think the test question is reflective of the discpline. In education and sociology I am looking for application and synthesis of the material. In math I think doing the problem is like a math essay, is it not? I hate that my grandson, gifted in math (he would convert fractions in his head at age 4) but he is only feed in school on repetitive worksheets on computation...any suggestions what I can do this summer to feed his gift? Diane

Teaching humanism on the wards: What patients value in outstanding attending physicians - 0 views

Humanism education medicine medical communciation relationships

Patients want to be treated humanely and as individuals by their care-providers. Many curricula, usually written by university faculty, have been developed to teach physicians such skills. Rarely are patients' actual preferences taken into account when designing curricula. This study was undertaken to identify what hospitalized patients most valued about their encounters with attending faculty physicians. In this study, medical residents (post-graduate medical trainees) identified faculty physicians as outstanding teachers of humanistic care. Patients receiving care from these outstanding physicians were interviewed, as were the students and residents on the care team and the study physicians. Using qualitative techniques, patients' comments were analyzed and common themes were identified. These findings were compared with qualities identified by medical residents and students and by the attending physicians themselves. Patients identified the following specific behaviors as those they most valued in their physicians: direct communication, understanding, direct involvement in care, adequate explanation, and overt expressions of respect, as highly valued. Outstanding teachers of humane care exhibited several discrete behaviors that patients described as valuable. Since these behaviors can be discretely identified, they can be taught as part of medical curricula. The content of medical education in communication and doctor-patient relationships should incorporate goals informed by the perspectives of patients.

Social media primarily played an organizing role during the 2008 races, with campaign staffs largely in charge of their candidates' social media presence and interaction with supporters, said Mindy Finn, a new media adviser to Republican candidates. During the 2012 presidential campaign, Finn predicted, social media power will become more decentralized with supporters and oppo

After then-Sen. Obama abandoned his pledge to filibuster legislation that would give retroactive immunity to U.S. telecommunications providers that participated in the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping of Americans, the largest group on his campaign organizing site, MyBarackObama.com, revolted and began castigating him on the site's comment boards. "Everyone was walking around the building saying, 'Holy cow. What's going on? This isn't what we want to talk about,' " Phillips said. "But it got to a point where we said, 'Let's just tell them where we stand.' " The campaign ended up putting then-campaign adviser and now deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough in the middle of the Web chats to explain Obama's position and respond to criticism.

Here is a model for online learning that some of us could use for our online classrooms. It was brought up in one of Celeste's posts so I took a deeper look and if you have students who will do homework it could be effective.
