Lecturing remains the staple teaching technique for most professionals in higher education. Lecturing can be a chore, a terror or an exhilarating experience. One thing that is certain: for students, good lecturing shows, is expected and pays dividends.

Together they provide stimulating and motivating practical examples of how to improve lecturing technique and confidence.
