"All's Well That Ends Well" anonymous 18th Century (poetry reading)
Misogyny isn't funny any more. How strange it is that humour changes so quickly. Very few things that used to be considered funny are able to amuse us today. Shakespeare's comedy isn't funny.

Learning in the laboratory: an interactional, factual and conceptual experience.
When the teacher acts in a particular way, how does the student probably experience his act? What is the nature of these experiences and how teachers may influence them? Our starting point was a three-dimensional model (subject, object, project) defining three domains of experience: the interactional, perceptual domain, the conceptual, mental domain and the factual, concrete domain.
