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.
