Лекции в Кембридже длятся меньше часа. Расписание представляет...

Lectures in Cambridge last less than an hour. The schedule is a simple grid of hours, each column of which contains a lecture. There is no such thing as a change. In principle, teachers can start a lecture when they see that the audience has gathered. People come to some lectures in advance, as soon as the audience is released - they go inside in a slender stream. But the highest chic among teachers, anyway, wait 5 minutes, and only then start telling. You can finish the lecture “at zero”, but letting students go five minutes earlier is also authoritative.
It is very interesting that the lecture itself is essentially different from our couple. Professors, even in streaming classrooms (although I have not seen very large audiences - only 40-50 people) provide hand-outs. In principle, everything is written there: keywords, concepts, key ideas. Many students record directly on empty places "handout". Almost all lectures with presentations. They speak at a lecture very quickly, they manage to tell quite a lot. Of course, I immediately wondered why we had pairs - double lectures. And I immediately remembered Professor Pimenov, who, during a lecture, spoke about the correct stress in words (for example, to speak Losos correctly), about the personal characteristics of scientists (I especially remember how Yugo Yulyevich Sukharsko worked), etc. Part of the time was spent figuring out how students feel — all slowly, calmly, with dignity.
Now the rhythm is different, in Cambridge, university norms obeyed his dictatorship. The professor enters the audience first to give lecture materials to students. And then quickly quickly tells. Particularly striking is the speed with which quotes displayed on a large screen are read. "Sasha walked along the highway ... many, many times." Actually the task of the lecturer is not to convey information - handouts and courses with bibliography contain everything you need - but to set emotional emphasis. "This is especially interesting here!" "This book will change your inner world." "Now it’s hard for us to imagine that Watt’s machine was pumping water into a special pool, and the water flowing from it was spinning a regular mill wheel, which set the machines in motion at the factory!"
Yes ... And of course, the main feature of Cambridge: in each lecture, emphasis is placed on Cambridge. Charles Darwin attended Christ College. James Watson and Francis Crick announced the discovery of DNA in the Eagle brewery, etc. Well, this is so that casual listeners do not have any doubts ...
