Too Much Art, Not Enough Space

As Documentary Photography students look for a place to exhibit their semester’s work, it becomes apparent that the university lacks sufficient facilities. With rumors of a possible new major, art studies, surfacing, one has to wonder where exactly students would be able to exhibit or hold exhibitions for art to study.

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.

Lecturers in Humanities and Social Sciences often know how to jam in class

Then there’s Pavla Jonsonnová, who teaches a course in Subcultures and is most probably the peak musician of all the AAU faculty.

Students of courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences school shouldn’t be too surprised to find their professors jamming on stage when they head out clubbing after class.

Talking to Anglo-American University professors often turns up by their great love for music. Some are jazz fanatics who would go anytime, anywhere by any means of transport to see a great gig. AAU professor John Brent confides he once canceled a U.S. history lecture because he was going hitchhiking to a Vienna jazz concert.

AAU professors see skipping a problem among students

For Anglo-American University professors, skipping has become an issue within their classes. There is a correlation between students who study abroad and their attendance in class at Anglo-American University. When students come to study abroad, many put their school priorities almost dead last.

Involvement in art gives students a broader perspective

“My internship has provided me with the answer to a nagging question: What exactly is a student of humanities supposed to do after finishing school?” 

Students at Anglo-American University are getting involved in the contemporary art community through Professor Karina Kottova’s Cultural Projects Planning class.

The course provides students with experience in art, education and management fields. Kottova requires students to get involved with practical work in the community with an individual cultural project.

Cooperation with CEA brings challenges to some classes

How much will AAU have to change its academic standards to better suit those CEA requires?

Anglo-American University’s students can look forward to seeing more exchange students from the U.S due to a special global partnership agreement Anglo-American University has in place with the Arizona-based CEA study abroad program.

AAU’s full-time students have yet to find out what this really means for their academic future, but the influx is not always welcome by locals, it seems.

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.
