LECTURES
Evidence form a number of disciples suggest
that oral presentations to large groups of
passive students contribute very little to real
learning. In physics, standard lectures do not
help most students develop conceptual
understanding of fundamental processes in
electricity and in mechanics. Similarly, students
grades in a large general chemistry lecture
course do not correlate with the lecturing skills
and experience of the instruction.
