Giving Effective Lectures Barbara Gastel, MD, MPH Texas A&M University

Main topics to be discussed: – Things lectures are and aren’t good for – Ways to engage the audience – Ways to organize a lecture meaningfully – Other tips for ensuring a lecture is clear – Reminders: using audiovisual aids Note: Please also refer to the AuthorAID writing workshop session on giving presentations. Introductory Comments

Things Lectures Are and Aren’t Good For Perhaps surprisingly, lectures aren’t good for conveying lots of information – What could be better for doing so? Some things lectures are good for: – Emphasizing key points – Providing a structure for independent learning – Combining content from various sources – Generating interest – Introducing resource people (and other resources)

Engaging the Audience (to Help Attendees Learn): Some Tips Relate what you say to what already interests the group. (What are some examples?) Try to stimulate curiosity. Use an engaging speaking style. Use audiovisuals, if appropriate. Have variety (in activities, maybe in speakers). From time to time, give attendees an active role. (How could you do so?)

Some Important Advice Limit the lecture to a few main points. How can you do so and still make the lecture informative?

Organizing the Content Meaningfully: Some Tips Relate the content to what attendees already know and what they will do in the future. – Example: writing journal articles Give the lecture a simple, logical structure. In general, present overviews before details. Include summaries.

Making the Material Clear by Other Means: Some Tips Remember to define terms (and to remind people of definitions). Avoid or greatly limit the use of abbreviations. Repeat or otherwise emphasize important ideas. Make relationships between ideas clear. Use audiovisual aids, if appropriate. Check with the audience.

Using Audiovisual Aids: Some Reminders Remember: Audiovisuals should be aids—not ends in themselves. Keep visuals simple, and make sure they are legible. Check the room and the equipment beforehand. Show visuals only at relevant times. Keep each visual in view long enough.

Questions for Discussion What items (not yet mentioned) from the session on giving presentations could apply to giving lectures on research writing? What other suggestions do you have for giving lectures on research writing? What questions do you have about using lectures in teaching research writing?

Thank you!
