But according to Mazur, that is what he was doing: he prepared a lecture from the textbook, copied the lecture onto the blackboard during class and watched the students copy what he wrote into their own notebooks--just like most lecturers did at the time...
...self-awareness and mistrust, which, Purdy argued, led to cynicism. Heartbreaking Work is a resounding rebuttal. In it, literary gamesmanship and self-consciousness are trained on life's most unendurable experience, used to examine a memory too scorching to stare at, as one views an eclipse by projecting sunlight onto paper through a pinhole.

They rent out mall storefronts for showings. I saw one director projecting his movie onto a snowy hillside.
