Furse, Cynthia M. | 13 crazy, notorious things to do in an EM class | The average attention span of an adult human is 12-20 minutes. Our lectures are 50-80 minutes. Attention Span Math reminds us to take a break now and then, and to bring the class back to life by bringing some life to the class. Many students learn things better if they can see and touch them, so thi... | Attention span; Fun | 2005-06 |
