1. ENGL 102Lecture Notes: Lesson 2A Balanced Use of
Educational Media
I. The medium of television has inundated American culture.
A. From age five to age eighteen, an American child has viewed
over 15,000 hours of television.
B. Once movie attendance and listening to radios and stereos is
factored in, the exposure hours to electronic media easily
reaches 20,000 hours.
C. This is at least double the amount of time which a child
spends with school and homework.
II. There are some important differences between electronic
curriculum and
traditional classroom/printed curriculum.
A. The most obvious differences involve setting:
1. In a classroom, content is more important than attention via
entertainment; with television, the converse is true.
2. A classroom, mirroring life itself, is a “penalty-laden
curriculum”; television is not.
3. Television has the advantage of continuousness and
imminence.
4. Commercial television’s learning modules are extremely
short.
5. Classroom curriculum is community centered; television
curriculum tends to reinforce what Christopher Lasch has
labeled “cultural narcissism.”

2. B. The most important difference is that the two curricula use
different alphabets.
1. The traditional classroom uses language—a “digital” code of
information.
2. Television uses pictures—an “analogic” code of information.
C. The traditional curriculum stresses cause-and-effect, linear
history; television
curriculum stresses the non sequitur.
D. Traditional and television curricula also present differing
templates of authority/authoritarian structures.
Chapter 8: Exercises 8-1 through 8-5 (page 155) Please answer
each question correctly
8-1 Two types of visits are provided by the Durham Health
Clinic, first-time visits and return visits. Table 8-5 provides the
processing time for each work station and the available staff
hours per week. Determine the production frontiers for this
clinic and indicate which station should be expanded to increase
the overall capacity of the clinic. Which service station could be
reduced?
Table 8-5 Processing Time and Staff Hours Data for Durham
Health Clinic (Exercise 14-1)
Time estimates
(hours)
Work Station
First Visit Return Visit
Reception/discharge 0.25
0.12
Nursing and testing 0.40
0.38
Medical exam and treatment 0.50
0.25

3. 8-2 Durham Health Clinic has a contribution margin of $35 per
visit. Calculate the break-even point in visits with fixed costs at
$4000, $6500, and $8500 per week. Given this analysis, as a
manager, what would you recommend and why?
8-3 Durham Health Clinic is considering signing a contract to
perform 50 pre-employment physicals per week for a specific
corporation. In terms of staff time, a pre-employment physical
requires 0.20 hours in Reception/Discharge, 0.45 hours in
Nursing and Testing, and 0.20 hours in Medical Examination.
By work-station, determine how many work hours per week will
be needed to perform these physicals.
8-4 Currently the clinic does 250 visits per week, with 50% of
all visits as return visits. Each employee (physician, nurse, and
receptionist) is scheduled to work 35 hours per week.
a. How many employees by type does the clinic currently need?
b. How many employees by type will the clinic need if it signs
the contract for pre-employee physicals?
c. If return visits shift to 10% of all regular visits, how many
employees by type will the clinic need with and without the
contract for pre-employment physicals?
d. How will the answers to “b” and “c” change if the number of
physicals is modified to 35 pre-employment physicals per week?
Throughout these analyses, specify all assumptions, including
assumptions concerning worker productivity.
8-5 How would your answers change for problem 8-1 if nursing
and testing time was increased to 0.50 hours for both first and
repeat visits, and medical exam and treatment time was reduced
to 0.30 hours for a first visit and 0.20 hours for a return visit?

ENGL 102Lecture Notes: Lesson 1
A Christian Holistic Approach to
the Study of Literature
I. There are three primary considerations to keep before us
regarding the nature of this course.
A. God has constructed the mind in such a way that it controls
what comes in as well as what goes out.
B. While learning is a result of good study, it is more a result of
good thought processing.
C. The job of the Christian educator is not to force the student
into the assimilation of x amount of sterile facts; rather, the
teacher should stimulate thinking—thinking that is designed for
life.
II. Much of the emphasis in education now, however, is upon
the parts that make up life.
A. Within these fragments of history, the humanities, the

5. sciences, etc., the emphasis is upon quantity: the number of
pages covered and the amount of facts assimilated.
B. When life is dissected into sterile components, it dies.
III. History does provide examples of education which were
holistic, interdisciplinary, and designed for life.
A. One clear example is Jewish education under the Old
Testament economy:
1. In Jewish education, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy was
considered a man.
2. His school was conducted six days a week, twelve hours per
day, and about one half of the day was spent in practical
application of the Pentateuch.
3. The overall purpose and objective of this school was life as a
whole with an emphasis upon character building.
B. Another clear example is found in the teachings of Jesus
Christ.
ENGL 102Lecture Notes: Lesson 3The Importance of the Study
of Literature to the Christian
1. Church history provides much evidence for an antipathy and
hostility on the
part of Christians toward literature.
0. The early Church
0. Tertullian
0. Augustine

6. 0. The Puritans
1. Richard Baxter
1. Cotton Mather
1. Charles Spurgeon
0. Contemporary examples:
2. Bible institutes
2. Drug rehabilitation centers
1. Secular antipathy is also now growing against the study of
literature.
1. The apotheosis (i.e., raising to the level of a god) of
technology
1. The drift of liberal arts institutions toward vocational
education
1. Economic pressures on the humanities (i.e., the argument of
utilitarianism)
1. The drift toward an illiterate society
1. Arguments can be raised, however, in favor of the study of
literature as a legitimate Christian pursuit.
2. A rescue from the trap of mindless amusement
2. A wealth of insight into the plight of our world and the needs
of our
contemporaries

7. 2. A hermeneutic aid to Bible study (N.B.—Christianity is a
book religion. The Bible is a work of literature, and an
understanding of literature increases our understanding of
Scripture.)
2. A sharpening of our own theological focus
3. F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. D. H. Lawrence
3. G. B. Shaw
