ABSTRACT
Just about everyone who teaches in higher education would love to be really good at lecturing, to be the kind of lecturer whose students write glowing evaluations of them and to be greeted by a warm sea of eager faces every time they appear in the lecture theatre. Not many achieve this and indeed students tend to be much more vociferous in their negative comments than their positive ones. What is most frightening is the number of students who expect lectures to be boring.
