Description
This work begins by arguing that lectures are most suitable for teaching information, not promoting thought or inspired changes in attitudes, and then goes on to detail factors affecting the learning of information. There is a consideration of the techniques of lecturing, including organization, how to make a point, use handouts, and obtain feedback. The text also moves beyond lecturing to discuss alternatives when they are appropriate.
