"old days’ classes"

AnonymousIs "vicarious classes" a good way to put it?

No, not at all. 'Vicarious' is an irrelevant adjective. There is no specific term that I am aware of, but those classes are 'passive learning' classes.

What does "vicarious" mean?

Thanks.

Have you tried a dictionary?— http://www.onelook.com/?w=vicarious&ls=a

Yes, i had tried a dictionary but I still don't really understand the word and I am still curious aboout it.

But I have what I need... 'passive learning' classes sounds reaally good for what I want to say.

Thank you very much Mr. Micawber.

I'd use old-fashioned for the type of classes you are talking about.

Thank you fivejedjon and Clive.

Clive, educational science scholars like to believe that collaborative and interactive classes have replaced the old style but in reality most classes are still like that, you are not wrong at all.

I’ll use: “class lectures that only allow passive learning”

Anonymousa specific adjective that classifies/describes those old days’ classes, where the teacher did all the talking and the students sat down quietly and just listen?

In most of the Ed Psych books I've encountered (Educational Psychology), the term that seems to be used most often for that is "teacher-centered" or "teacher-centric". It's a rather made-up s

Thank you very much for another good suggestion, CalifJim.
