Abstract
This presentation will provide guidance on effective teaching strategies for use when delivering unit content in lecture settings. Lectures, generally a class the all students enrolled in the unit attend where key content is delivered by an academic addressing the class, have long been a key method for the delivery of unit content to students in a university setting. However, for a lecture to be an effective tool for students’ learning, it must be more than an ‘information dump’. That is, effective lecturing requires more than talking at students, but instead it should be a conversation with students. This presentation will explore the author’s experiences in lecturing in the discipline of law, and will outline a number of strategies used in lectures to foster students’ ability to become independent learners and to develop their critical thinking skills, while still conveying unit content.
