ABSTRACT

Very few new teachers are given whole new courses or modules to design, organize and facilitate.The norm is that a teaching assistant or postgraduate student will be asked to give a number of lectures on a pre-existing course. Clinicians and other professional and specialist contributors are likely to be asked to work as a ‘guest lecturer’ and provide input on a series of given specialist topics. This chapter assumes this ‘contributing to a course’ starting point. If you have a course design role too please see Butcher et al. (2006) for further guidance.
