| Description: | Over the last few years we have witnessed a sometimes vociferous debate between the lecture bashers and the avid lecture defenders. Unfortunately, not much has emerged from these conversations that informs our work in the classroom. From our perspective, it is not about lecturing for the sake of lecturing, nor is it about euthanizing the lecture. Rather, there is a time, a place, and a reason to lecture. Participants in this workshop will explore the contexts in which the lecture can be most effective.
Faculty who participate in this workshop will be able to identify the personal, social, and environmental factors that are conducive to an effective lecture. In addition, participants will learn how to refine their own lecturing skills, as well as how to create best social and environmental conditions for an effective lecture. |
