[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Paula Marantz Cohen ? In a case of literary serendipity  right after I read Beck's piece  I stumbled onto an essay called "The Simplest Course I Ever Taught" in The Chronicle of Higher Education by Paula Marantz Cohen  dean of the Pennoni Honors College and professor of English at Drexel University.
 Cohen  describes  her  embrace of "slow teaching " an approach that designs a college course to "look closely â and by extension  slowly â at one major idea or text over the course of ten weeks."
Though the focus of  Cohen 's essay is a one-credit course  she  developed that "took the slow teaching approach to a new level" â  she  read aloud Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to her students  and they discussed the plot and characters together â  she  explains that the honors program  she  heads offers a whole set of slow-taught courses. One of them focused on Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species  an indication that science as well as the humanities is involved.
A deliberate change on professors' part from trying "to cram in as much material as possible over the course of a term " Cohen suggests  brings benefits to the students. "I am convinced that key concepts and texts will adhere better to memory and understanding if their presentation is slowed down "  she  says in  her  essay.
Given what I wrote here last year about celebrating intellectual engagement on college campuses  it's no surprise that I'm convinced by  Cohen 's points. I'm not a skeptic about the slow-teaching approach.
Did  Cohen  have any thoughts on whether slow teaching would be as effective in the science as in the humanities?  She  replied  in part:
[A]: Positive

Sunday's event was not a march  organizers say  but a rally  beginning at 10 a.m. local time inside  the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas . Officials tell Fadel that although the venue can hold 40 000  they expected roughly 17 000. The organizers say they are less concerned with crowd size than with spreading their message. Nearly two hours after doors opened  Fadel estimated that thousands â many in the movement's trademark pussyhats â had filed into  the stadium  under clear skies.
[A]: Neutral


[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kershaw Max Scherzer ? In such a crowded field  then  the essential question is simple: Who has been the best hitter? As long as  he  has also played capably on defense   he  should get the award. Votto it is.
Legacy should not matter in the voting  but it offers a compelling backdrop: Washington’s  Max Scherzer  is seeking his third Cy Young Award  and the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw  his  fourth. Kershaw should win  but the margin is really close.
Scherzer has 26⅓ more innings than  Kershaw  — again  heading into the weekend — and has allowed 14 more earned runs. That comes to a 4.78 E.R.A. So imagine that the pitchers had the same stats through 171 innings  but  Kershaw  stopped and Scherzer continued — but was generally ineffective.
 Kershaw  gets the edge  but there is no wrong choice between the two. This much is certain: The two richest pitching contracts in N.L. history ($215 million for Kershaw  $210 million for Scherzer) have been wise investments this season.
