The Powerpoint Channel, Lynn M. Lopucki Feb 2022

The Powerpoint Channel, Lynn M. Lopucki

The Article states fourteen principles for slide or slide sequence design, provides the arguments from the literature for and against …

Anthrogogy: Towards Inclusive Law School Learning, Rebecca C. Flanagan

Faculty Publications

A Brief Exploration Of Space: Some Observations On Law School Architecture, Robert H. Jerry Ii

It is possible to teach and learn in deficient space, but it is easier to teach and learn when both faculty and students are comfortable, happy, and not distracted by the inconveniences and annoyances of a poorly designed environment. Inadequate space prevents us from achieving all of which we are capable, thereby diminishing our productivity, creativity, and …
