CLASSROOM “COMPARATIVE CULTURE” STUDY

"Include the subject of each class you are analyzing and your observations.  Papers like these should be written as if you were in the cafeteria and were talking to some friends about what you’ve observed in your classes.  Models are just that – they don’t typically reflect the reality of being a student in a particular course.  Try to give more examples from behavior (of students, professors) that you have observed during classes.  It’s also OK to explain how a class “feels” to you and to others.  Is it fun, interesting, boring, tedious, great, horrible, etc., and WHY would be a good way to approach your critique.

·        Seating patterns (e.g., students sitting toward back, male/female division, etc.)

·        Rules – formal and informal

·        Teacher’s mannerisms, attitude, teaching method / style.

B.  Assess student comfortability and productivity in each setting.
