How can I organize complex lecture material to best communicate the concepts?
- Break the material down into smaller pieces. Think about how you learned
it. After you explain each piece, spend as much time as possible situating
it into the big picture.
- If breaking the subject into pieces leaves gaping holes, don't worry. Don't
be afraid to tell the class, "Because of x, we wind up with this result, and
we're going to talk about that next week."
- Spend a few minutes at the beginning recapping where the last lecture left
you.
- Spend a few minutes at the end talking about where the next lecture is going to take you.
