Ideas on Lecturing from a Variety of Places and People

What are Some Ways to Get Feedback on Your Lectures?

1. Make an audiotape of a lecture and listen to it a week later by yourself. Critique your own lecture. Or request that a video tape be made and review it yourself.

2. Ask some faculty to help you critique the audiotape or videotape.

3. Request other faculty to sit in on a couple lectures and give you their reactions.

4. Pick a specific aspect of lecturing to work on and teach a mini-lesson to some faculty.

5. Ask for a group of students to evaluate your lectures. Train them in what to look for and discuss with them their reactions.

6. Each class have a different group of students provide written feedback on the lecture.

7. Introduce some measure of student learning at the end of lectures to determine if students are learning.

8. Ask a speech teacher to provide suggestions. Videotape the lecture and have the speech teacher present. Then work together to improve your lecturing.
