This video is about preparing to give a university lecture series. Part of my job as a university lecturer requires teaching, I teach a mix of lectures, lab classes, tutorials and project supervision. Teaching first year through to masters and PhD students. Sometime I have to write new module content or I may be asked to takeover teaching a class from another academic. Today I chat about the latter - how I get prepared when I am taking over a module. Usually I'll gather together the existing notes on the course, read the module descriptor, look at the assessment structure and time plan and then work through the content... preparing lecture by lecture to make up the module. I like to mix up my lecture content, a mix of talking, activities, questions, clips, maybe even the occasional demonstration! Do let me know in the comments your best tips for lecture prep and if you'd like a video where I discuss how I prepare for a new module. Or perhaps a video of when lectures go wrong!
Thanks as always for watching :) #drcst #academiclife #university

Having a degree says that you can teach up to a certain level. I was terrified of not knowing what to do and having to learn the hard way and the hard lesson I did not want it to have an effect on my student. So now that I have reviewed this video, I took my "lecture notes" line by line from this video, reviewed it many times and I am reading through the course description and outline now. This has averted a lot of stress on the part of myself and my student. I hope this video is supported by other persons who are advancing their career in teaching. Thank you Dr CST
I'm really glad to hear the video was useful. I hope the teaching is going well.
I am a lecture too and glad to see your video related to lecturing, its helpful
I'm a new Lecturer and your tips helps alot. Thanks Carol
Thanks for watching and welcome to our little academic space on CZcams!
Excellent, excellent intro! Thanks!
Wow this is really helpful. I really benefitted a lot especially on the issue of keeping hand written notes throughout the years.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! I teach futur paramedics in Montréal, Québec, Canada. This video gave me a good refresh to focus on preparing my semester lectures!
All the best for the semester ahead 😃
Thank you for this information.
Excellent presentation!
Thanks for watching 😀
Thanks for this wonderful video. I am also trying to become a lecturer (hopefully soon). I took part some part-time responsibilities so far. I would definitely want to see a video showing how something goes wrong.
Thank you for watching! There is a part 1 on lectures going wrong (czcams.com/video/lK2zjM_AbBg/video.html) but I have material for a part 2.. haha coming soon 😂 All the best for your next lectureship steps 😀
I just watched your video to learn how to prepare lecture to deliver in front of huge number of students. And I learned much more than that. May God bless you
Good luck for any future lectures 😀
Hi... it was an informative video for me..thank u
Your effective lecture plan is really very helpful for lectures to make their effective lectures! Simultaneously I would like to tell you that your eyes 👁️ are so beautiful! Thank you very much!
Thank you for the kind comment.
@@DrCST you are welcome!
It will be nice to see or tell us how you prepare to teach online as well. Thanks
Thank you for the suggestion :)
Hi Caroline, can you do a video on handling large classes with 100 plus students? I am teaching a big class this time and need some suggestions to manage them.
Great suggestion - thanks. It is on the list and in the meantime good luck with the class!
what're the difference between teaching first year and final year (third year) students? Thank you
Aside from the increasing complexity in taught subject material, the class size may get smaller (as students are selecting specialist modules in the later years of study); final year students often have developed their preferred independent learning style (which helps supports their studies alongside the taught class); sometimes the students in the 2nd and 3rd year may be more comfortable with the teaching academics so happy to ask more questions; often the final year contributes significantly to the overall degree grade for the students too!
Hi, this may be irrelevant to the video, but I have a few questions.
1. I used to play as a teacher when I was a kid, and wanted to be a teacher. Can I become a lecturer instead of a high school teacher? :D
2. What is the difference between a professor and a lecturer?
3. Can I become a a lecturer with just a Masters?
Thanks for watching. In answer to the questions:
1. This video might help czcams.com/video/-qqBRzOp3oQ/video.html on routes to becoming a uni lecturer.
2. In the UK the academic ranks are lecturer, senior lecturer, reader and then professor. In the US an assistant professor is analogous to a UK lecturer. Check out 7'32 in this video czcams.com/video/y9NYJFSU4BQ/video.html 😊
3. All depends on your subject and the location you are looking to become a lecturer in. For physics in the UK we tend to need the PhD, but it will be different for other subjects.
Hope that helps!
It depends who you ask. Some will say you must have a PhD some will say you don't My girlfriend is a Lecturer for 20 years and does not have a PhD - neither do many of her colleagues. I have a Master's and preparing for a Guest lecture because I have experience in my field. In My field - the creative industries you do not need a PhD - strictly speaking. But it depends on the institution. For Humanities and Sciences they'd almost certainly insist on it. But for lecturing software packages or technical stuff such as Film school you won't.
