...Well, I guess people would have been psyched about that 10 years ago.” You’d be wrong. The band, whose crystal meth-tinged mega-hit “Semi-Charmed Life” blasted across college dorms in 1997, failed to elicit any major enthusiasm among a group of Harvard College ’98 alums polled by FM. “Who are they, again?” asks Christine Folch ’98. To be fair to Christine, 3EB has arguably not had a hit since 1999, when the hook...
...Stickgold's evidence includes an experiment he led in 2000 when Harvard researchers were able to elicit the same dream in a bunch of people as they drifted off to sleep. They did this by exposing 27 subjects to an intensive three-day course in the computer game Tetris, which involves assembling geometric shapes. By the second night of training, 17 subjects had reported having the same dream image-falling Tetris pieces-indicating to Stickgold that the need to learn prods the brain to dream. More of these kinds of studies are needed, he says, "because as we learn...

That’s the catch of looping disco-punk beats, after all, but it doesn’t mean that !!! failed: when they...
...faculty to improve the quality of learning in FAS. For several years we have posted a variety of forms and templates for “early evaluations,” written and electronic, on our web site. These are used at the discretion of course heads and TFs to elicit student input about the progress of the course and the way it is taught. In addition, we have long been involved in helping faculty and TFs interpret CUE data from their courses, and in assisting in facilitating tactful, creative means for students to be heard on these matters. These...
