ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to explore what lecturers can do in lectures. Not just how we can lecture, rather how we can survive from the moment we walk in to the lecture theatre to the moment we leave. We’ll be exploring in more depth in Chapter 7 what students can do, but clearly we need to bring the student presence into the present chapter straightaway, as the whole purpose of lectures needs to include the aim that students should get useful learning payoff from being there.
