    This lecture is sensational - erudite, complex yet paradoxically accessible. A perfect gateway into further study.

    By "accessible" you mean "understandable"? I'm confused. Just to know for my English. Also what do you mean by paradoxically there?

    Defoe gives a good description of how a genuine candle gives clear and steady light. This taught me something we all take for granted about candles - candles are purposefully, and skilfully designed. And herein is why Defoe was "A good pen": you are enriched for reading his works.

    Why in the world would you make your presentation available electronically. When students know you'll give them the presentation, they won't take notes. Mental imprint occurs though taking physical notes, not looking at PPT slides.

  • @Charlotteghostgirl

    as you can see she's saying more than is in the actual presentation, so taking notes is obligatory anyways. she just assures the students that if they miss an information, they shouldnt fear, because it will be available to them online. this is an approach many professors have nowadays.

    Actually, you're wrong - taking notes interferes with listening and understanding. Taking notes is a productive task, while listening is a receptive task. The brain can't adequately do either when trying to do both at the same time. Check your psychology of learning...

    I enjoyed the book but my god this was boring. I'm sure she's a good lecturer though, it's just that I find literature lectures boring in general. Why would you even want to know all this about the book, it's not necessary to know to improve your writing skills and most of it is irrelevant to the story. And I'm all for delving deep into the minute details of the book, I don't just want to get through it as fast as possible. Any book I read I pretty much read it twice and study it from all the highlights and notes I make, that I then re-read. And I often stop and daydream about the characters' reactions to their situations and imagine myself in that situation. But lectures like these don't make me understand or appreciate the book any more, I just find them dull and pointless.
