Tips And Pointers
The podium occupant may now respond to these
questions:
- In your experience in your academic field, have
university expectations changed since you were an undergraduate?
- How much time is spent explaining your expectations
to your students and how frequently?
- How do you measure students' grasp of the course's
components, both lecture and reading, and how frequently?
- What importance do you attach to the students'
capturing the essence of your podium presentation in their lecture
notes?
- Is it logical that both the lecturer's presentation
and the students' performance on tests should be evaluated by
the same standards of solid content/coherent organization/clarity
of expression?
- What is the wisest use of limited hours of reader
assistance in evaluating student work?
- What classroom techniques do you offer from the
podium to accommodate the diverse learning styles of students?

is in my own IDC community; some enjoy an eminence that is campus-wide:
