	Didacticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Didactic refers to literature or other types of art that are instructional or informative.
		The term "didactic" also refers to texts that are overburdened with instructive and factual information, sometimes to the detriment of a reader's enjoyment.
		The opposite of "didactic" is "non-didactic." If a writer is more concerned with artistic qualities and techniques than with conveying a message, then that piece of work is considered to be non-didactic, even if it is instructive.

		In the rest of surviving Latin didactic poetry, the influence and the imitation of Virgil and Lucretius are manifest.
		During the century which preceded the Romantic revival of poetry in Germany, didactic verse was cultivated in that country on the lines of imitation of the French, but with a greater dryness and oh a lower level of utility.
		This is didactic poetry proper, and this, it is almost certain, became irrevocably obsolete at the close of the 18th century.

		Didactic conveyed that neutral meaning when it was first borrowed in the 17th century, and still does; a didactic piece of work is one that is meant to be instructive as well as artistic.
		Didactic now often has negative connotations, because something didactic can be over burdened with instruction to the point of being dull.
		In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a popular form of didactic entertainment, often containing a scene reproduced on cloth transparencies with various lights shining through the cloths to produce changes in effect, intended for viewing at a distance.

	FIU's Programs - Didactic vs. CP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Didactic program is just the course work part of the requirements to become an RD. Thus, after you complete the didactic program you still have to apply for and complete a dietetic internship somewhere in the country.
		The CP is also a "lock-step program" which means that classes and practicum's have to be taken at certain preset times and the class of 16 goes through the whole program in unison.
		Didactic Cons: A student who completes this program is going to have to do an internship after graduation in order to become a registered dietitian.

	didactic -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The word is often used to refer to texts that are overburdened with instructive or factual matter to the exclusion of graceful and pleasing detail so that they are pompously dull and erudite.
		Lucretius' De rerum natura is an account of Epicurus' atomic theory of matter, its aim being to free men from superstition and the fear of death.
		His novels and plays were both naturalistic and didactic, but Heijermans also wrote satirical sketches (under the name Samuel Falkland), and his skillful use of irony is also evident in the play De wijze kater (1917; The Wise Tomcat).

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.01.26 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This book has two aims, lucidly summarized in the Conclusion: to attempt to define didactic poetry as understood by the ancients, and to apply the results of that enquiry to the interpretation of the four chosen poets.
		Volk argues cautiously (epochê is one of the conspicuous merits of her book) that the isolated testimonies of the Tractatus Coislinianus and the Ars grammatica of Diomedes may possibly derive from a Hellenistic source but concludes that the question has little bearing on the interpretation of the poets.
		It seems to me therefore that 'poetry in the didactic mode' would have been a more helpful concept, that the silent consensus of the ancient authorities should be respected, and that the ultimately rather sterile argument that it has engendered may be left to historians of scholarship to chronicle.

	The Didactic Fallacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		But, to prefer one over the other because one is explicit and didactic but the other is implicit and indirect as well as allegorical is to distort and mock the art and science of aesthetics (values, especially in this case, art) and hermeneutics (interpretation).
		Thus, the didactic Marxist, the didactic Christian and the didactic capitalist all would be wrong if they pigeonholed Citizen Kane by renouncing it as a flawed ideological work or, perhaps even worse, adopting it as a brilliant ideological work that fit into a convenient, cozy little didactic formula.
		Such didactic critics must be very careful in how they judge a work of art, lest they also become guilty of committing the Reductive Fallacy.

	Didactic Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Modernism has rejected didactic poetry with a peculiar vehemence, as it rejects the idea that poetry should aim to be informative, edifying, or in any way useful.
		The foreclosure of the possibility of didactic poetry seems particularly unfortunate in a century that has supplied humanity with so much new information to process, and which has brought such rapid and violent social change, that everyone feels somewhat disoriented.
		Thus, didactic poetry is a possible critical discourse, at least with respect to the social sciences (including law).
