Get Your Students Hired
How long on average does it take to create a presentation for each hour of lecture?
How long do you give your students in class to review a case study before presenting it?
I plan to break my lecture time up to allow my students to refocus as I remember how hard it was to focus on long lectures without media, case studies, student lead learning etc.
Deanna,
First time through it make take three hours of prep to create a one hour lecture. Keep in mind this is not a hard and fast rule since it all depends on the content being developed. You may have most of one lecture already to go in your mind and you only need to lay it out in presentation form and in another case you will need to develop both content and presentation. It does get easier and quicker the more times you teach the same course. I give my students a case study as homework so they will be ready with it the next class meeting. Then I put them into small groups for them to discuss their findings and then I have them present it.
