ABSTRACT Feeling like a bit of a thespian in class? Why not expand your class role and channel your inner Stanley Tucci or Kathleen Marshall? Large-lecture classes offer an opportunity to run a whole production. While much has been written about large-lecture classes, papers have tended to address the relative merits of these classes or some specific issue related to teaching them within a specific discipline. This paper adds to the existing literature by providing an overview of the day-to-day considerations, planning, and mechanics of developing and teaching a large-lecture introductory accounting course, by taking you on a behind-the-scenes tour through the pre-production and production processes for a large-lecture, introductory accounting course. It describes the pre-production process, including the following: understanding the audience, developing a vision for the course, identifying resource and financing needs, determining the cast and crew, designing the set, developing the production elements, casting the show, and rehearsing the show. Additionally, the paper describes the production itself, including the dimensions of acting, addressing problems that occur during the production, and managing intermissions (exams). The paper closes with a brief discussion of the critics.

This article describes a simple and inexpensive hands-on simulation of protein folding suitable for use in large lecture classes. This activity uses a minimum of parts, tools, and skill to simulate some of the fundamental principles of protein folding. The major concepts targeted are that proteins begin as linear polypeptides and fold to three-dimensional structures, noncovalent interactions drive this folding process, and the final folded shape of a protein depends on its amino acid sequence. At the start of the activity, students are given pieces of insulated wire from which they each construct and fold their own polypeptide. This activity was evaluated in three ways. A random sample of student-generated polypeptides collected after the activity shows that most students were able to create an appropriate structure. After this activity, students (n = 154) completed an open-ended survey. Their responses showed that more than three-quarters of the students learned one or more of the core concepts being demonstrated. Finally, a follow-up survey was conducted seven weeks after the activity; responses to this survey (n = 63) showed that a similar fraction of students still retained these key concepts. This activity should be useful in large introductory-level college biology or biochemistry lectures.

This article presents the family scenarios of women with the syndrome of «emotional coldness» in interpersonal relationships, which complicate creation of psychological intimacy. Purpose: to analyse the family scenarios of women with the syndrome of «emotional coldness» in interpersonal relations. Research methods: questionnaire of diagnostics of style of interpersonal relationships (О.S. Kocharyan, E.V. Frolova, І. О. Baru), genogram, semistructured diagnostic interview, content-analysis, case-analysis. Methods: 75 women in age 28-33, unmarried or are in civil marriage (45 women with the syndrome of «emotional coldness», 30 women without the syndrome of «еnotional coldness»). All women were participants of the psychological groups of the analysis and correction of family scenarios. Research was conducted in 2015-2019. Women with the syndrome of «emotional coldness» in interpersonal relationships have such types of family scenarios, as the «Disappearing man», «Man is a hero», «Love out of marriage», «Men are necessary to be cheated», «Man is a father». Narrations of these scenarios negatively influence on forming of relations of psychological intimacy, namely: you can not trust men and count on their support, a man is needed only for continuation of family, there is not love in marriage etc. For the correction of negative narrations we use retelling of histories with changing of usual accents, distancing from characters of ancestors, and also searching of positive examples from other family stories.
