Understanding how to listen to lectures will be crucial for
your success in many of courses you take at I.U. To get the most
out of this means of teaching, you will need to listen actively
and to identify what is most relevant and worth remembering in
each lecture.
To give you a little experience at this, I have recorded a short
lecture on how French conservatives in the late 19th century
viewed the political history of their nation since the French
Revolution began in 1789. Some of this material could be
directly useful in developing a thesis in the paper you are
writing about Gérôme's rejecton of new
tendencies in art; some is not. Your task will be to identify
the relevant material in the lecture and decide how this
conservative view of French history might have influenced
Gérôme's
attitudes. |
