Code Red Presentation

Code Red presented on how effective the current institutional practices were here at Howard University. They interview a teacher and then a student to get both aspects of the education here at Howard. The First teacher they interviewed was Dr. Gordon. He suggested that the students take advantage of his office hours. He always challenges his students with pop quizzes to make sure they stay challenged with their education. When teaching he uses lectures and transparencies. With all of this he believes that Howard’s education is one of the best and is up to par with white schools. The student said that the teacher is good for an auditory learner and he forces you to become excited about class. The next teacher they interviewed was Dr. Turner. Dr. Turner always fully engages his students in his classes. When Dr. Turner teaches his teaching method reflects the voice of the students. The last teacher to be interviewed was Dr. Hounai. Dr. Hounai is a visible and audible teacher and he uses lots of clear examples. He lives by the principal of leaving no student behind and that students who feel behind are always open to office hours. He loves to teach by example and has flexible hours for those who need it. Their interviews were a success and overall they learned about an education from the real HU.
