Presentation

 

teacher and students

 

*  Go over your syllabus at the first class meeting.  Clearly spell out expectations: grading, attendance, materials to be covered, due dates, and participation. 

 

*  Stick to your syllabus.

 

*  Speak in a clear voice, and don’t go too quickly. 

 

*   Avoid talking while writing on the board.

 

*    Provide enough time for students to take notes.

 

*   Give several examples of your key points.

 

*   Do not expect that, because you said something once, the student caught or understands what you said.  Be redundant about important information, and check for understanding.

 

*  Allow a student to tape record lectures or provide him/her with a copy of your notes.
