How to ruin a course

For some years now my school has been moving away from highly structured behavouralist lesson towards connectivist lessons.


1. Unclear learning objectives.
2. Overly didactic teaching methods that do not allow student creativity.
3. Use of limited, historical case studies from text books which have been selected to "prove" a theories validity.
3. Rigid course structure that does not adapt to learner's requirement's.
4. Teacher's being in total control of the course, students are not allowed access to social and online research tools.
6. Ignoring students background, views and opinions. Trying to tell them how to think and linking this to the assessment criteria where they have to agree with to get high scores.
