The Last Lecture
Author: Randy Pausch
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780340977002
Category : Cancer
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Lectures on Teaching
Author: Joshua G. Fitch
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781330911495
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Teaching: Delivered in the University of Cambridge, During the Lent Term, 1880 Although eminent writers in both hemispheres have produced works on teaching of superior merit, it must be submitted that the literature of pedagogy is still in its infancy. There is no standard authority, as in law or medicine, to which all teachers can refer and on which they can rely. Herbert Spencer and Alexander Bain have written excellent books on the theory of teaching; but they have said little or nothing on the practice of teaching - hardly one word that would aid the young beginner in organizing and managing a school. Many able instructors in the United States, among whom may be mentioned Wickersham and Payne, have done good service in the cause of education by writing works of great value, - works more practical than any produced on the other side of the Atlantic except the work entitled Lectures on Teaching by J. G. Fitch. Teachers everywhere among the English-speaking people have hailed Mr. Fitch's work as an invaluable aid for almost every kind of instruction and school organization.
