Olmecs - One of the Earliest...

Kelly Mass

The Olmecs are often regarded as the first significant civilization in Mesoamerica, a region that includes parts of modern-day Mexico and Central America. They emerged in the tropical lowlands of what is now the Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco, following a gradual development in the Soconusco region. It is believed that the Olmecs were influenced by neighboring cultures, particularly the Mokaya and Mixe–Zoque tribes, who inhabited the areas around them. These early interactions may have played a role in shaping Olmec society, laying the foundation for their eventual rise as one of the most influential cultures in Mesoamerican history. 
The Olmecs flourished during the formative period of Mesoamerican civilization, which lasted from approximately 1500 BCE to 400 BCE. The early phase of Olmec culture began around 1600 BCE, with the establishment of their first major center at San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, located in the southeastern Veracruz region near the coast. While pre-Olmec cultures had been developing in the region since around 2500 BCE, it was by 1600 BCE that the Olmecs began to solidify their cultural and political dominance in the region. They are considered the earliest of the Mesoamerican civilizations, and their cultural achievements and innovations would influence many of the civilizations that followed, including the Maya, Zapotec, and Aztec.

The Amateur Hour - A History of...

Jonathan Zimmerman

American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student.But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.
