I see myself in all of these
Yeah, I’m a second-row person all the way; green describes me right. Purple as a backup.
Thank goodness my college only had one of these kinds of rooms, and I was only there for a class about movies.
Aye cmon now, i have some idea of what’s going on.
I’m usually just late lol
Nah the side rows are for when you expect the lecture to be boring or unproductive and you want to leave early.
Why is “what” blurred? And how is this science memes?
Probably is “wtf” - there’s been a big shift in censoring “swear words” on the internet recently
Academia memes?
Sounds more like it.
Is it “what” or “wtf”? Latter makes a lil more sense to blur.
Yeah, but it’s the internet and no one gives a fuck really.
I was told we can’t fucking swear here…
Accurate.
I wonder why universities classrooms are designed more like movie theatres?
i thiiink it’s to help everyone see & hear better, like in ancient Greek theatres
this is all guesswork but, i’m guessing that since university education historically (and in a lot of places to this day) is more a thing of the rich they actually put some thought into the design of the lecture halls. And for the education of the poors that’s simply made to condition them to work in factories they just put some tables and chairs in a room and called it a day - and since then the design stuck
Your guesswork is doing a bit too much there. Rich schools also have flat classrooms for smaller groups, e.g 30ish.
The reasons for stadium seating is for size, and that’s true for most schools including community colleges (and even vocational schools). Usually it’s used for classes everyone has to take, like a pre-req. High schools aren’t standardized in the same way, so you generally wouldn’t have a class of 80. High schoolers need more one on one anyway, and teachers require less specialized knowledge, so the numbers just work better that way.
yea true, though (and again i’m just speculating and talking out of my ass, do tell me if you find that annoying i can do research i just don’t feel like it atm) wouldn’t first schools have been made just for the working class kids? The rich kids were getting home schooled by best professors and then sent off to universities. The working class kids would be sent to the newly established general schools where they could learn and find new opportunities (and get conditioned to work in factories). I don’t think you’d see many rich kids in schools with “the poors”. And once schools became the norm, and rich kids schools began popping up then the schematic of what a pre-university school looked like was already established
Because more people?
Yes, this is the simple and correct answer. Yikes everyone else, you try seating 300 people in a research 1 university classroom.
You wouldn’t be able to see otherwise
There was a time when professors performed burlesque shows to better teach their subject. The puritans got them though. ;-;
