Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.
The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.
Education for evolution is an educational system designed to help propel humans forward in the natural course of evolution. The purpose of education for evolution is to enhance and strengthen the natural evolutionary process of humans through the mechanism of education. The means to achieve this objective is the design of a curricula based on the same educational techniques and strategies used by natural evolution, enhanced and guided by the application of conscious educational decisions.

I really enjoyed the course and it met with my expectations. However, I find the background music throughout the course VERY DISTRACTING and ANNOYING. In my opinion when a person is learning and trying to remember details it makes it difficult to concentrate on the topic at hand and does nothing to improve the subject matter.

I enjoy adding to my knowledge base, so yes. If I had a suggestion it would be to have the music background in the beginning and end of each section and fade out and back in again at those times. While I appreciate music and what it can add to the feeling and culture of the experience after a while the repetition becomes tedious.

Very thorough and informative course that explains and analyses the core themes and motifs of Wright's designs. The only thing is that sometimes the BGM gets a bit distracting, especially when it is a song with lyrics
