Augé: Using stories to transcend lectures

Augé never wanted to become a teacher. “I was too rebellious a student,” he says. But studying in California changed his idea of what a teacher’s job can be. He says he now loves his job and the idea of a university as well as the variety of students he encounters.

AAU professor Étienne François Augé believes an instructor should be more than just a lecturer in the classroom.

A prolific author of books and essays, he wants “to bring university to a more general audience” through his writing.

In his latest book, L’Illusion Culturelle: Hollywood et la Propaganda: 1990–2000, Augé explores the connection between Hollywood and propaganda for more than 600 pages but reaches no definite conclusion.

Meet professor Robert Ellmann

When he was "just a kid" he would take baths with "two nice black twin sisters from next door." He says that it was nothing since they were all so young but that there was "racial harmony in the bathtub."

A man some students meet at least once a week is not just a teacher but a well-travelled person of many experiences and occupations.

Robert Ellmann teaches wide range of subjects in which he shares with the pupils his wealth of knowledge and outlook on philosophy. Sitting in the cafeteria, looking through papers for his next lecture, Ellmann started to answer questions at first a little nervously, not knowing what was coming, but quickly he became relaxed and forthcoming.

Ivan Gutierrez mixes written word with guitar mastery

Anglo-American University takes pride in offering different teachers from diverse countries with several specializations. One of them is Ivan Gutierrez, a Columbian, whom some know as a teacher of Intro to Philosophy and Composition. Off campus, however, he is not really known as a teacher but as a musician. He can be seen playing his Spanish guitar and singing at Prague's buzzy cultural pub, Balbínova poetická hospudka (Balbínova 6, Prague 2) at least once a month with his band, Madera.

Should teacher evaluations be published?

Student evaluations of teachers at Anglo American University, which until now have been shown only to faculty being reviewed, could be shared with other students, say school officials.
But if, especially in the digital age, information is power, questions remain as to how much power students should be given.

Three flew back to the cuckoo's nest

"I like being connected to the school," says Lazarov to alumni officer Borka Ljeskovic in an interview on YouTube. He names John H. Carey, the founder of the School of Law, as his strongest influence. Carey stimulated students to think, not just to learn by heart what is written, he says.
