In critiquing one of the learning objects that Jason, Gary, and Louis created I must say they did an excellent job with the power point/ timeline of events from the financial crises.  The timeline was very detailed, informative, and followed a sequence that was easy to understand.  I believe they did a good job of narrowing the most important topics of a very dense subject to its most relevant points. The pictures and images were nicely chosen and really added to the presentation.  The only criticism that I have regards the amount of text on the slides.  Some of the slides would be a bit much for students to follow.  In my experience, whatever you put up on a slide or board, students will desperately try to scribble everything down, even if you tell them they do not have too.  They will beg for more time on each slide and it would probably take 2-3 classes to get through such a dense subject.  However for our purposes, the power point was very well down and I appreciated the abbreviated version of the book.

  1. Brad, remember the learning objects are supposed to be rated on Curriki.
