Too loving spoonfuls

Article Abstract:

University lecturers should teach their students how to learn but they must not give them all to much information. Giving students comprehensive handouts or teaching only parts of the syllabus, which will be in the examinations, is not helpful. Some students criticised a professor who tried to give his students more information via a website. They felt they should not have to make any effort themselves. Other students praised the professor as they found the course more enjoyable. Examination results also rose to 86% of students passing their examination compared to 72% previously.

Eliot letters fan flames of row over 'racism'

Article Abstract:

A previously unknown cache of letters written by poet T.S. Eliot to his friend Horace Kallen, Jewish-American professor of social thought at New York University, which are to be published soon will add fuel to a literary dispute over whether or not Eliot was an anti-semite. Ronald Schuchard of Emory University in the US argues in a paper to be published in Modernism/Modernity, a journal, that the letters categorically overturn the allegations of anti-semitism, but other experts rebut these claims, accusing Schuchard of omissions and misreadings.

Who's looking at you, kid?

Article Abstract:

The surveillance cameras installed outside shopsand in shopping centres gave important clues to serious crimes committed in theUK in 1993. There is likely to be an increase in high street cameras as they are successful in preventing street crime and identifying suspects. Some observers feel this increase denotes a threat to individual liberty, and that tighter controls and higher levels of authorisation should be used.
