Large lecture classes are frequently regarded as a necessary evil. Such classes 1 be offered in many colleges and universities to meet high student 2 with limited faculty resource, 3 teaching a large lecture class can be a 4 task. Lecture halls are 5 large, barren, and forbidding. It is difficult to get to know students. Students may seem bored in the 6 environment and may 7 read newspapers or even leave class in the middle of a lecture. Written work by the students seems out of the 8  .

The solution is to develop 10 methods of classroom instruction that can reduce, if not 11 , many of the difficultiesglamour 12 in the mass class. In fact, we have 13 at Kent State University teaching techniques which help make a large lecture class more like a small 14  .
An 15 but important benefit of teaching the course 16 this manner has involved the activities of the teaching assistants who help us mark students’ written work. The faculty instructor originally decided to ask the teaching assistants for help  17 this was the only practical way to 18 that all the papers could be evaluated. Now those 19 report enjoying their new status as “junior professors”, gaining a very different 20 on college education by being on the other side of the desk, learning a great deal about the subject matter, and improving their own writing as a direct result of grading other students’ papers.

It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athletes display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive  1  their bodies. And sports do allow us to  2  acts that can legitimately be described as  3  , thrilling, beautiful, even noble. In a ( n )  4  complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of  5  .

To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely competitive  11  and you have to be totally focused on the development of your own physical skills. These qualities  12  well make a great athlete,  13  they don’t necessarily make a great person.

The athletes themselves suffer the  16  of this system. Trained to measure themselves perpetually  17  the achievements of those around them, many young athletes develop a sense of sociologist Walter Schafer has  18  "conditional self-worth". They learn very quickly that they will be accepted by the important figures in their lives--parents, coaches and peers as long as they are  19  as "winner". Unfortunately they become  20  and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.
