The second Class Observation I was able to observe was held by Ramin. Apparently the class was thin because the Muslim students were observing a religious holiday and only its Asian students remained. The class was a carry over from a previous assignement about an article on the history of the Marlboro cigarette company. The assignements for the students wast to but the turning points of the company on a time line. As they did, Ramin gave the historical examinations for some of the more ambiguous parts of American history and iconography. I also noticed that he gave them the most tactile examinations for concepts because they seemed to be the most easily understood. Throughout the lecture he also asked his students if they understood the meanings of some of the more complex words or phrases in the article, and if they did not, clarified them. At the end of the lecture he encouraged the students to re-read the article with the clarity they had obtained from the review.
