Tell your Monash teaching and learning tale

June 2008

To help celebrate Monash University’s 50th Anniversary, alumni are invited to share memories of their greatest teaching and learning moments at Monash with fellow graduates. Suitable contributions may be included on the University website or in other Monash publications.

Contributions could include stories about an inspirational lecture; the subjects you enjoyed the most; or something amazing that took place in class.

Economics alumnus Peter Brown (BEc 1978) remembers:

“As an EcoPol student in the 70s only a few things still stick out in my mind - the rest must be ingrained. Hobbes, Locke and Russo - the names rather than the theories. An aversion to Financial Accounting, and sitting in the aisles of a packed lecture theatre in the Rotunda to endure it. Being impressed that I knew the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics. John Maynard Keynes. Demand creates supply. Monetary policy. Actually enjoying International Economics.”

If you would like to tell your tale, please email your submission to 50years@adm.monash.edu.au.

Your submission must be no longer than 150 words and should include dates if it is of historical significance. Stories may be edited prior to publication on the website.

Email your story by 30 June to go in the draw for one of 10 copies of the new Monash book Go Boldly.

Stories currently posted on the website can be viewed at: http://www.monash.edu.au/50years/story.html.
