Re: Professor Claims Math, Algebra And Geometry Promote ‘White Privilege’
I’ve been in faculty training where we were instructed that the lecture format in university courses is actually a result of white supremacy. The logic was that whites have better high schools than blacks and so white students learned in high school how to learn in lecture format. Blacks on the other hand can’t learn in lecture format cause they had poor high schoools and so haven’t developed the ability to learn in lecture format. So instead we should go to “active learning” during which time students don’t listen to a prof lecture but instead teach each other by playing games. In the same training a recommended practice was to involve students by having them write their own exams. Needless to say I’m gonna leave this university.
