Podium Style

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?
