| 451 | The how, the theory of teaching, and the resources we use to learn. | 如何,教学理论,以及我们用来学习的资源. |

| 454 | to critique and evaluate instructional methodology, | 批评和评价教学方法, |
| 455 | from formal theory to informal aids. | 从正式理论到非正式辅助. |
| 456 | We'll begin with the noun didactics. | 我们从名词学开始 |
| 457 | This is the formal art and science of teaching and instructional methods, | 这是正式的艺术和科学 教学和教学方法, |
| 458 | also known as pedagogy. | 又称修行. |

| 463 | This is a deliberate theoretical shift away from older passive lecture-based models. | 这是一种有意的理论转变,脱离了旧的被动演讲模式。 |

| 468 | Advances in didactics have transformed traditional lecture-based education. | 教学方面的进步改变了以讲座为基础的传统教育。 |
| 469 | But now we have to address the adjective form, didactic. | 但是现在我们必须解决形容词形式, 教学。 |
| 470 | Yes, because it carries a much richer and often more problematic nuance. | 是的,因为它带有更丰富和往往更成问题的细微差别。 |
| 471 | While it means intended to teach, it can also imply excessive moralism, | 虽然它的意思是教书,但它也可能意味着过度的道德主义, |
| 472 | making something sound overly preachy. | 做一些过于传教的事情。 |
| 473 | This is a perfect example of C2-level contextual awareness. | 这是C2级背景意识的完美例子. |

| 486 | Shifting from formal theory to the informal reality of studying, we have the term CRIB. | 从正式理论转向非正式的研究现实,我们有了CRIB这个术语. |
| 487 | An informal term for a translation or summary aid, a cheat sheet. | 翻译或简易辅助的非正式术语,欺骗表. |

| 492 | The analysis suggests creating a personal CRIB improved her attention of key philosophical concepts | 分析建议建立一个个人的 CRIB 提高她对关键哲学概念的注意 |
| 493 | because condensing ideas forces active learning. | 因为凝聚思想迫使人们积极学习。 |

| 495 | The term always carries the implication of cheating when it's used improperly. | 这个词总是带有欺骗的含意 当它被不当使用。 |
| 496 | Right. | 对 |
| 497 | The professor might say he allowed open book exams but heavily discouraged reliance on CRIBs. | 教授可能说,他允许公开的图书考试,但严重劝阻依赖CRIBs. |
| 498 | The goal is to test genuine understanding, not the ability to copy summaries. | 目标是测试真正的理解,而不是复制摘要的能力。 |
