Endeavour to work with groups of students in practical or tutorial classes and give them an opportunity to clarify and discuss material covered in the lectures. Place lecture outlines and notes on the chairs prior to students entering the class or in a convenient place for collection prior to the lecture as a lot of valuable time can be wasted in distributing lecture notes at the start of the lecture. Careful planning and preparation of the lecture is important. Present your teaching material using a variety of methods and strategies. Use cordless microphones which enables you to move around the classroom and thus interact more easily with the students.
Show of hands is a good way of involving all students in the classroom.
Encourage the use of buzz groups for discussion of aspects of a lecture with fellow students in the classroom. Encourage student-student interaction in the classroom by the discussion of a concept or idea for a minute or two with a neighbour. Incorporate the teaching of learning skills into units. Provide regular feedback on essays and assignments to students. Teaching of large classes can be a positive experience for both the lecturer and the student.
