![]() The more popular options include using a laptop, smartphone or a stand-alone voice recorder. Some ways are easier and more convenient than others, but they might not produce the best audio quality. There are several different ways of recording your lectures and it all depends on what works best for you. The Best Ways to Record Classroom Lectures They are great for recording to-do lists, brainstorming ideas for term papers, and preparing for speeches or presentations. Voice recorders have many other uses apart from just recording lectures. Having a recording allows them to look-up any words they don’t know or ask a friend (even by emailing them the recording) later. It’s often really difficult to translate technical words and take notes quickly enough. Recording lectures can be really helpful for students whose first-language is not English. Dyslexic students in particular find voice recorders helpful to keep up with their studies. They are really helpful when students cannot hear the professor well or if they’re unable to take notes quickly enough. Students with learning disabilities are likely familiar with voice recorders from their high school studies. Caleb was worried his professor knew he was pro-Trump and was scared his grades might suffer.Īnother student, Caroline Freeman, recorded her Michigan State University professor making disparaging remarks about Republicans, Christians and athletes. His professor called Trump, “A white supremacist” and “A terrorist”. One example is Caleb O'Neil, who recorded his Psychology professor go on a rant against President Trump. Some students have recorded their professors making inappropriate comments which made them feel very uncomfortable. It’s incredibly tempting to check social media and internet news sites rather than focus on the task at hand. Using a laptop to take notes is popular among college students, but it can also be counter-productive. You can listen again while driving, on the bus or even walking to the next class. ![]() Having an audio recording of the lecture gives you more opportunities to study than just using written notes. Instead, you can relax and concentrate on the main points of the lecture. You won’t need to be stooped over for hours desperately trying to get down everything that was said. While no current technology will make an Organic Chemistry lecture seem more interesting, an audio recorder can make you feel more comfortable in class. An audio recording captures exactly what was said during the lecture, so nothing is missed. It’s easy to miss some key points because the lecturer was talking too fast or you didn’t think it was important at the time. The danger with taking notes by hand or computer is that they’re never 100% accurate. They’ll find an audio recording easier to review than written notes, too. Recording lectures can help these students learn more in class as they don’t need to take notes and can focus on what the lecturer is saying. People learn in many different ways and auditory learners learn best when they are actively listening. Jordan Peterson (a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto) touched on this point during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. He said: “Maybe 10 times as many people can listen to complex information as read complex information”. While this wasn’t backed by scientific research, it’s certainly true that many people absorb complex information easier by listening than by reading. ![]() It’s always easier to remember complex information the more times you hear it, and having a recording helps you do just that. ![]() Often, you just want to put them on pause while you try to catch up. Some courses are more information-rich than others, and professors like to cram as much as possible into every lecture. "Do I need permission?" 10 Ways Recording Lectures Helps College Students 1: Help With Information Overload We’ll review some of these different methods and discuss the best voice recorders for the job.ġ0 Ways Recording Lectures Helps College Students And there are now more options than ever for recording lectures. To cope, college students have been using audio recorders for decades. Lots of former high school stars are sent crashing down to earth after the first grades are published. Many find the adjustment a bit rough in the beginning - especially with all the distractions that college life brings. Teachers won’t help as much and the friends you relied on at high school just aren’t there. There are less classes - which sounds great - but you’re expected to study a whole lot more. Freshmen are always surprised at how different college is from high school.

![]() Factors such as color temperature (the color of the illuminating LEDs) and the color rendering index of the lamp determine how well you’ll see color on your working surface. Different light sources can affect how we perceive colors, making it challenging to achieve accurate shades and hues. ![]() ![]() One of the most critical factors in choosing high-quality lighting is color accuracy. Of course, such lighting systems come with a cost. With a bit of digging, you will find lamps that have amazing color rendering index (CRI) scores that can mimic the kind and quality of outdoor lighting of a clear day. LED lighting has progressed to the point that it can now closely mimic natural light. With the advent of LED lamps and lights, we can fill an entire room with “daylight” even in the darkest night (as long as there’s electricity). Now we can access the power of artificial lighting to power us through all hours of Life. In the digital age, we have broken our reliance on the daylight hours to get work done. As humans, our eyes and brain are tuned to operate in natural daylight with its full spectrum of colors. Natural sunlight is the best way to see the World. The Best Lamp for Artists, Miniature Painters, and Hobby Crafts? Not only can a quality light source reduce eye strain and headaches, but it can also bring out the best in artwork and other visual elements, boost mood, energy levels, and focus, save on energy costs, and even increase the value of a property or artwork. A cheap floor lamp may do the job of getting your dim room brighter, but not all lighting solutions are created equal. Investing in good quality lighting is a no-brainer for anyone who values their comfort, productivity, and creativity. ![]() Glades Central Community High School Seminole Ridge Community High School Royal Palm Beach Community High School Palm Beach Central Community High School Wellington Community High School Park Vista Community High School Spanish River Community High School West Boca Raton Community High School Olympic Heights Community High Schoolġ - Adult Education Center, 2161 North Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33409, (561) 616-7800 2 - Adult Virtual Academy, 4200 Purdy Lane, Bldg. ![]() One of two operas, "Treemonisha," survives, but most of his last and most sophisticated compositions were either destroyed by Joplin himself in rages brought on by syphilis or were destroyed by others after his death in 1917. Regrettably, many of his works are now lost. Joplin spent the rest of his life producing ever more serious compositions, integrating the folk elements of the African-American culture into classical musical forms such as operas and concertos. Joplin, however, saw ragtime as an original African-American form of music in which composers such as himself were creating completely new works. To "rag" a number was to play it in this syncopated style. This ragtime device could also be applied to any other musical number, such as a song. The distinguishing element was syncopation ragtime marches contained the continuous use of rhythmic displacement. In form, a "rag" was closely related to the marches that John Philip Sousa had popularized in the last half of the 19th Century. Joplin produced almost 50 rags in the next decade and a half. A phenomenal hit, it set the standard for ragtime as not only a popular music but also as music that might well be considered the equal of the ageless European masterworks. ![]() This piece became the quintessential theme of ragtime music. After spending years as an itinerant piano player and entertainer, Joplin ended up in Sedalia, Mo., where he had his syncopated masterpiece, "The Maple Leaf Rag," published in 1899 by the local music store owner, John Stark. The following movies are said to contain subliminal messages or subtle symbolism (most of the messages are of a sexual nature, so I won't go into detail, but if you Google the film and the word subliminal, you'll find much more): However, without the benefit of advertising, the relationship between Ferrari racing and Marlboro started to erode.ĩ. Even after Ferrari removed the insignia, Marlboro pledged continued support for the team. The design was quickly recognized as a subliminal advertisement for Marlboro cigarettes. However, a ban on tobacco advertising caused Ferrari and Marlboro to design a barcode style logo for the cars and jumpers in 2010. ![]() Ferrari’s Formula One car and its drivers' jumpers have always been red and always carried the Marlboro logo-one of Ferrari racing’s largest corporate sponsor. In a brilliant move, the Food Network said it was just “a glitch.”Ĩ. This led to accusations of subliminal advertising. On January 27, 2007, the McDonald’s logo appeared for a single frame during the Iron Chef America program on Food Network. After complaints, the FCC investigated but never assessed any penalties nor blame in the case.ħ. At one point, a single frame flashed the word “rats” (part of the word bureaucrats). Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign included a television ad that featured words and parts of words scrolling across the screen. The report included the subliminal message “Now call the chief.” No increased volume of tips was reported. In an effort to catch the BTK Killer in 1978, TV station KAKE-TV in Wichita obtained permission to run subliminal messages in a report about the BTK killings. It deemed subliminal messages “Contrary to public interest.” They were never actually banned in the USA, however the same commercial led to a ban in Canada.ĥ. A 1973 Christmas advertising campaign for the game H?sker D? included the subliminal message “Get it.” Complaints flooded in and the FCC ran an investigation. ![]() Many still debate whether the experiment even took place!Ĥ. This led to the modern practice of subliminal advertising, despite that he admitted in 1962 that he was lying. James Vicary, a market researcher, caused a stir when he reported that he was able to increase popcorn sales at a New Jersey movie theatre through subliminal messages built into the movie. By World War II, a tachistoscope (a machine that projects images extremely briefly and rapidly) was used to teach soldiers how to recognize enemy planes.ģ. All the way back in 1897, The New Psychology published an article about how subliminal messages work. ![]() If you stacked two of the cans and turned them just right, the word SEX became apparent.Ģ.

True, scientific research has yet to determine the actual effectiveness of this process, but it's still worth pointing out some interesting tidbits:ġ. We're talking visual messages that can be flashed very quickly in a film or buried within a print image and audio messages that are masked by other sounds, played below audible levels or recorded backwards to hide the message. But it’s possible they may have been just as unsettled by what Friedkin decided to insert into the film surreptitiously-a frightening, subliminal image that was funneled straight into the audience’s subconscious.Īccording to The Exorcist fan site CaptainHowdy.Subliminal messages affect the subconscious mind. Local newscasts reported viewers fainting, vomiting, and fleeing the theater, shaken by the film’s explicit depiction of a young girl named Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) possessed by demons and exhibiting blasphemous behavior. He was interested only in terrifying them, which he did to unprecedented effect. Unlike the slasher movie antagonists of the 1980s, Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel was uninterested in winking at the audience. When director William Friedkin’s The Exorcist opened in 1973, it quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful horror films of all time. ![]() "Is There a Crisis?" īroadcast 15 November 2000, together with leading experts, David Attenborough examines the latest scientific evidence in order to discover if the planet's ecosystems are really in crisis.

However, ratings recovered to around 7 million for the second and third programmes. The BBC drew criticism for scheduling the first episode in competition with the final part of ITV's Inspector Morse as a consequence, it drew just 4 million viewers, well below the channel's typical share. The series was specially commissioned by BBC One for the millennium, and had a budget of around GBP2 million. Each of the programmes attempts to find answers to the potential ecological crisis that threatens the Earth. It includes interviews with many leading scientists, such as Edward O. It is written and presented by David Attenborough, and produced by Rupert Barrington. Ironically, the strict preservation of Blue Peter’s history means that the clip of the first regeneration has been preserved, but the final episode of The Tenth Planet that it came from was never again seen after its use here.State of the Planet is a three-part environmental documentary series, made by the BBC Natural History Unit, transmitted in November 2000.

![]() Alberto-Barroso and colleagues have argued that the peopling of the islands must have taken place after Roman occupation of the archipelago officially described by Pliny the Elder. Some authors claim that the earliest occupation of Gran Canaria Island occurred during the 4 thcentury CE, a chronology obtained from human bone collagen extracted from the mortuary cave of Guayadeque (Alberto-Barroso et al., 2019 Velasco-Vázquez et al., 2020). The latter were known to be mainly pastoralist communities living inland and lacking long-distance seafaring knowledge. The second hypothesis argues for a later occupation of the archipelago mainly initiated by Roman seafarers who could have brought tribal peoples of northern Morocco, known as Berber tribes (Onrubia-Pintado, 1992 Velasco-Vázquez, 2015 Morales-Mateos et al., 2017 Alberto-Barroso et al., 2019 Fregel et al., 2019 Velasco-Vázquez et al., 2020). Leonardo Torriano’s map of the Canary Islands in the late sixteenth century (source: Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra, catalogue number Ms. BCE (Atoche-Peña, 2011 Atoche-Peña and Ramírez-Rodríguez, 2017a). The oldest chronologies come from the site of Buenavista in Lanzarote, which brings human settlement as far back as 960 cal. The oldest evidence of Phoenician presence in west Africa comes from a glass bead found at the site of Nin-Bèrè 3, in Mali, dated between 7 th – 5 th century BC (Truffa Giachet et al., 2019). From Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE) in his Naturalis Historia, as well as from recent discoveries in the islet of Lobos (Arco-Aguilar et al., 2016 Atoche-Peña and Ramírez-Rodríguez, 2017), it has been widely acknowledged that the islands were once visited and settled by the Roman Empire. Roman cities such as Lixus and Volibus – modern Moroccan cities of Larache and nearby Meknes – were discovered to be original Phoenician settlements strategically located near the northwest African coast highly exploited by these merchants (López-Pardo and Mederos-Martín, 2000, 2008 Mederos-Martín and Escribano-Cobo, 2008). Nearby evidence from these ancient seafarers comes from the well-documented factory of the island of Mogador, where Stramonita haemasatoma was exploited to obtain the lustrous red dye, a Phoenician trademark (López-Pardo and Mederos-Martín, 2000 Mederos-Martín and Escribano-Cobo, 2002 Wagner, 2008). One possible explanation considers the settlement of the archipelago started by Phoenician merchants exploring the northwest coasts of Africa (Atoch-Peña, 2003, 2011 González-Antón and Arco-Aguilar, 2007 González-Antón and Arco-Aguilar, 2009). Two main hypotheses are currently being discussed. The peopling of the Canary Islands is still a matter of debate in archaeology. Many Cubans have ancestors that migrated from the Canary Islands to Cuba.The Maritime Archaeology of the Canary Islands Paloma Cuello del Pozo Santa Cruz: Museo Naval del Barco de la Virgen. The third-largest city of the Canary Islands is San Cristóbal de La Laguna (a World Heritage Site) on the island of Tenerife. In 1927 a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands be shared, as it remains at present. Between the 1833 territorial division of Spain and 1927, Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands. Its capital is shared by the cities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which in turn are the capitals of the provinces. The autonomous community of the Canary Islands was established in 1982. In 1927, the Province of Canary Islands was split into two provinces: the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Province of Las Palmas. During the time of the Spanish Empire, the Canaries were the main stopover for Spanish galleons on their way to the Americas, which came south to catch the prevailing northeasterly trade winds. In ancient times, the island chain was often referred to as “Las Afortunadas” (the Fortunate Isles.) Historically, the Canary Islands have been considered a bridge between four continents: Africa, North America, South America, and Europe. The archipelago includes many smaller islands and islets. The seven main islands are (from largest to smallest in area) Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. ![]() The Canary Islands ( Islas Canarias) are a Spanish archipelago and the southernmost autonomous community of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean, 62 miles west of Morocco at the closest point.

After adding the eggs, the batter will transform from a gritty batter to one that looks like shiny pudding. When the first egg is mixed in, I repeat with the second egg. I add the first egg and mix it into the butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. We use two eggs to make the brownies, but I add them one at a time. The double-boiler is a fail-safe against scorching the batter, but as long as you keep the heat to medium-low and stay close by, you should be fine. You can also melt the butter into the sugar and cocoa in a saucepan over medium-low heat. I prefer the stovetop method since I know it helps achieve that beautiful crackly top. Melting the butter with sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.Īlternate methods: You can complete this process in the microwave (many of our readers have). Heating the sugar like this helps move it to the top of the brownies when they are in the oven, which is how they get that shiny top. This process helps to create that crinkly top we all love. ![]() I place a bowl with the butter, sugar, and cocoa powder over the saucepan and watch as they melt into a gritty-looking mixture. Make something called a double boiler, a fancy term for a small saucepan filled with an inch or two of water set over low heat. Here is where the saucepan comes into play. Step 1, Melt the butter with sugar, salt, and cocoa powder. There’s no mixer or fancy equipment required! To make them, I follow these steps: You only need one mixing bowl, a small saucepan, and a spoon. These are your brownies, after all! We recommend stirring a handful of chocolate into the batter before pouring it into the baking pan or scattering chocolate on top of the batter in the pan. If you want to add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, you can. Here’s another recipe that is unapologetic about how much cocoa powder is added to the batter. If you are like us and find yourself reaching for dark chocolate over milk, these are most certainly for you. Since we are using cocoa powder, they aren’t overly sweet. In removing the chocolate (as well as the fat and sugar that goes along with it), she was fine-tuned the brownies so that the middles were softer and moist and the tops were shiny and candy-like. Instead of using chocolate, Medrich calls for cocoa powder. Search on Google and you’ll see that some brownie recipes call for chocolate that is melted into butter, then mixed with sugar, eggs, and flour. Medrich is a genius when it comes to chocolate. This recipe is slightly adapted from Alice Medrich’s Cocoa Brownies found in many of her cookbooks. While we have not tried this ourselves, if you read through the comments below, there are quite a few people who have had success using a gluten-free flour blend (like the Bob’s Red Mill blend). Cakey brownie recipes will call for more flour. Remember, we’re on the hunt for extra fudgy brownies, and keeping the flour to a minimum helps with that. All-purpose flour is the last ingredient you need, but you don’t need much.Salt in baking might seem odd, but just like in savory cooking, it awakens the flavors of the recipe. Salt and vanilla help to round out the flavor of the brownies.Eggs add richness and provide structure to the brownies.Use what you love, but I love the flavor of Droste Cacao (a Dutch cocoa powder) in these brownies. You can use natural cocoa powder, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, or raw cacao powder to make these. Cocoa powder adds our chocolate element and makes these taste rich.It makes the centers soft and the tops crinkly. Sugar balances the bitterness of unsweetened cocoa powder and adds to the texture of the brownies.We use 100% butter in the recipe and don’t feel the need to add oil. Butter adds so much more flavor than oil ever could.I bet you have most of what you need to make these brownies already sitting in your kitchen. Now if you love simple recipes like this one, take a look at these blondies or my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Let me walk you through the steps for making them. There’s also a good chance you already have the ingredients on hand. These brownies require one bowl and come together in minutes. These brownies are much more flavorful than anything made from a box. These brownies with dense, fudgy middles and crinkly tops absolutely deliver! These are perfect for boxed brownie lovers - the dense, moist, and fudgy texture is not all that different from what you can expect from the boxed mixes. I love brownies that are rich and extra chocolaty. I know that saying these are the “best brownies, ever” is a bold statement, but we truly believe it. We Honestly Think This is the Best Brownie Recipe Related: We also love these no-fuss brownies that are thicker with chewy edges. ![]() If that bugs you, go to Settings and select Void Mode, which gives you general menus, but removes the immersive environment.
