Many educational institutions have moved or are moving to project-based learning (PBL) in Engineering. Project-based learning and problem-based learning have both advantages and also disadvantages. They are suitable for certain courses and may not be that helpful for certain other courses. In case of courses which require mathematical and analytical skills PBL does not seem to be very useful. As a matter of fact, many students do not seem to learn the basics/fundamentals if PBL method is used. Courses like statics, Mechanics, and structural analysis are the type of courses which can produce graduates without a proper fundamental understanding of the subject matter if PBL is used for the entire course.

1. If I had to sum up as concisely as I possibly can the subject matter of this paper, I would probably say that it was originally stimulated by the attempt to understand how Lucretius articulated his didactic plot. What is the plot of a poem that presents itself as analysing nothing less than ‘the nature of things’? It is safe to assume as a starting-point that a didactic poem which intends to revolutionize each and every principle of perception and evaluation of reality cannot remain unaffected by the theoretical views it tries to prove, and that the persuasive impact of those theories on the reader will inevitably be strengthened or weakened by the way the text situates itself in respect to those theories: the poem itself will be the most effective or the most damning example of its own theories.

Wildlife art does not receive the critical attention that it deserves. In this chapter, William Welstead considers how the images made after close observation in the field incorporate the signs and visual clues that enable us to identify the species, have some idea of what the individuals are doing and how they relate to the wider environment. These are all important factors in building an informed view of the non-human world and establishing how we feel about it. Wildlife artists tread a difficult path between serving science and catering for the affective response of viewers and between the representational and the abstract in depicting their subject matter. Welstead suggests that the way we recognise wildlife by its overall look or ‘jizz’ means that drawings and paintings can capture in a few lines and shapes the essence of the creature. This economical application of lines and colour therefore allows for at least some level of abstraction. The subject would merit further attention from ecocritics.

This article attempts to take stock of the state of research on democracy and culture by providing answers to several sets of questions. It seeks to improve the understanding of the relationship between culture and action, and between political culture and democratic outcomes. The article begins by exploring the way the literature has dealt with the possible meaning of culture and political culture and their relationship to action. It also suggests why there has been little contribution to democracy derived from political culture research, and identifies how the efforts to rethink how and why the subject matter is approached in certain ways led many analysts to break out of established epistemological demarcations. This eventually led to the reinvigorated tools of investigation and research on democracy and civic culture. The article concludes with a discussion on the implications of improved tools of investigation for future research.

This essay looks at Arthur Machen's underexplored experimental masterpiece The Hill of Dreams (1897/1907), his personal novel rooted in the Decadent nineties. Its daringness does not just lie in the subject matter but also in the manner its stylistic techniques evoke. The present investigation is interested in Machen's multifarious use of the image of the maze/labyrinth – or Welsh caerdroia – an apt symbol for the presentation of London. Machen's labyrinth is a motif, a metaphor for the thought process, and a metafictional device. In the story of Lucian Taylor, the troubled self-destructive litterateur, the labyrinthine characterises not only setting, terrain, self-movement, mind, and textual tissue, but also the way these components, or modalities, come together. Aside from showcasing the various ways the labyrinth materialises in The Hill of Dreams, the essay argues that Machen's achievement consists of a discursive meta-labyrinth that cuts across, or combines, the different spheres of consciousness, terrain, and textuality. The concepts of pattern recognition, liminal thresholds, and ‘infolding’ are employed in support of the claims made.

AbstractThis paper discusses a series of archaic poems in which one poet responds directly to the work of another, identifying the other by name or by direct allusion (for example, Simonides frag. 542 PMG, Solon frag. 20 West, Sappho frag. 137 Voigt). Such responses often disagree with their models, and this disagreement is frequently constructed in terms of a correction, not only to the subject matter, but also to the way in which the original is composed. These responses, therefore, not only reflect the pattern of improvisation and ‘capping’ common to much Greek poetry, but form an ongoing debate on the nature and role of the poet and his poetry. The construction of such responses also serves to underline both the importance of improvisation and the permanency of the fame conveyed by the completed poem.
