You must be flexible in your presentation of content, both in scheduling and methods. While you may have a rough plan to spend 10-15 minutes on each topic point, student uptake may require more or less time on any given topic. The remedy for this is to have "plan B" materials and content points available so you can supplement topics that go too quickly, or make up time to cover for those that go too slowly without missing presentation of important topic points. You must also be flexible in your methods to accommodate various existing knowledgge levels and backgrounds, provide study and learning guidance, and shift activities when one type of presentation does not seem to be reaching a particular group. Pre-tests, informal mid-course reaction surveys, and collaboration with instructors of pre-requisite courses can help identify and proactively manage issues.
