What makes u an Effectual Lecturer?

Please Read it Carefully!!!

1. Doesn't spoon-feed the students, even when they beg and beg and beg. Never hand out full text notes, or make them available.

2.Stimulates futher thinking and reading rather than provides thedefinitive answer for all time. But doesn't shy from conclusions either.

3.Gives you an account of the views of others, but is unafraid to givetheir own opinion - with passion if necessary. Prejudice is a wonderfulpedagogical tool!

4. Gives a brief but quality reading list.

5.Is disciplined about questions, and is even quite harsh with ramblingor hectoring questioners if necessary. Perhaps he or she makes clearhow questions are going to run before the lecture. If there is no time,then tough.

6. Is disciplined about discussions or other in class activities.

7. Does check to see if he or she is being listened to, and asks for clarification questions.

8. NEVER belittles other students for a laugh. In fact, is secure enough not to have to be funny all the time.

9. Makes time for female students to ask questions, speak, talk, interact etc.

10. Starts on time/finishes on time.

11. Never or rarely runs out of time: but each lecture is presented whole.

12. Makes an effort to communicate with colour and variety.

13. Isn't obsessed with powerpoint.

14. Provides a simple outline. One A4 sheet is sufficient.

15. Appears to be enjoying him/herself.

16. Gives clear and simple information about assessment. Doesn't spend too long fussing about it.

17. Is accessible outside the class room.

18. Knows what he or she is actually talking about.

19. Is not defensive when questioned, but firm.


Good Day!
