Lecturing

Lecturing seems to have a bad reputation these days. Sure we all have been mesmerized by the gifted “sage on the stage” but really, how many of those kinds of teachers have crossed your path in a lifetime? These resources are intended for those of us who are less gifted and who still want and need to use the lecture format in our teaching.

• Preparing to Teach the Large Lecture Class and Delivering a Lecture
  More great suggestions from Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis from the University of California, Berkeley.
  
  
• IC Library: Classroom teaching strategies and techniques - The Lively Lecture-8 Variations
  Some variations on the lecture format from Instructional Consulting at the School of Education, University of Indiana-Bloomington.
  
  
• Course Planning and Teaching: Teaching Techniques
  This chapter from Teaching at Carolina, written and published online by the staff of the Center for Teaching and Learning, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, contains information about planning and delivering a lecture.
  
  
• Teaching Strategies: Lecturing
  Suggestions from Richard L. Weaver focus on grabbing students’ attention and interest through your desire and action. From the Teaching Resource Center at the University of Virginia.
  
  
• What Constitutes a Good Lecture and What Makes a Discussion Section Productive?
  Jann Lacoss, Faculty Consultant, Teaching Resource Center and Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, and Jennifer Chylack, Graduate Student Associate, Teaching Resource Center and Department of English have collected ideas from University of Virginia students about what, to them, is a good lecture.
  
  
• Self-Assessment Form for Lecture Course
  This form, published by the Teaching Resource Center at the University of Virginia, is used to have students reflect upon their own level of engagement in lecture classes. Interesting idea.
