Columns: Harvard Classes Don’t Have To Be This Boring
Harvard courses are often dull, leading to student disengagement, but the solution lies in active learning rather than rigid policies like attendance mandates or no-screen rules. Traditional lectures, where professors monologue uninterrupted, fail to maintain student attention. Research shows that active learning—engaging students through discussions, problem-solving, and interactive teaching—significantly improves comprehension and course satisfaction. However, students may feel they learn more from passive lectures, a perception that must be addressed. Harvard should embrace active learning techniques, making courses more dynamic and fostering deeper student engagement with minimal disruption.
专栏：哈佛的课程不必这么无聊
哈佛的课程通常枯燥乏味，导致学生不专心，但方案激发主动学习，而不是出勤要求或禁止使用屏幕等严格规定。传统的讲座中，教授们滔滔不绝，无法吸引学生的注意力。研究演讲，主动学习——通过讨论、问题和互助助助启发学生——可以显着提高理解力和课程满意度。然而，学生从激活的认知中可能学到更多，这种观点必须得到解决。哈佛主动学习应采用技术，使课程恢复活力，并在尽量减少伤害的情况下促进学生更深入的参与。
Editorials: To Improve Classroom Conversations, Train Our TFs.
A Faculty of Arts and Sciences report highlights concerns that students may align their work with instructors’ views to secure better grades, underscoring the need for balanced classroom discussions. While professors generally manage this well, Harvard should focus on improving teaching fellow (TF) training, as TFs play a crucial role in facilitating discussions and grading. The University should provide standardized training and grading guidelines to ensure fairness and encourage open debate. Supporting TFs with clearer policies and second-opinion grading options will enhance academic integrity and foster more meaningful classroom conversations.
社论：为了改善课堂对话，请培训我们的TF。
文理学院的一份报告强调了学生可能为了获得成绩而将自己的作业与教师的观点保持一致的担忧，这强调了平衡课堂讨论的必要性。虽然教授们通常能够很好地处理这个问题，但哈佛大学应该改进焦点助教（TF）的培训，因为助教在促进讨论和评分方面发挥着至关重要的作用。大学应该提供标准化的培训和评分指南，以确保公平并鼓励公开辩论。通过更明确的政策和第二意见评分选项支持助教将提高学术并诚信促进更有意义的课堂对话。
