Advantages & Disadvantages of Lecturing. (n.d.). Retrieved from: http://www.southalabama.edu/languages/spanish/TRG/TRG/Enhancing_Learning/Lecturing/advantages.htm

This source shows advantages and disadvantages of lecturing, particularly in a college setting. It shows that lecturing puts students in a passive role because they aren’t able to be active and interact with discussion. Students who attend lectures are only learning one-way communication. The lecturer isn’t making sure that the students comprehend the content that requires the lecturer to learn more effective skills such as communication. The advantages of lectures show that the lecturer is in control with the pace and direction of the topic but also the organization and the content. Lectures give out a lot of information in a short time due to the fact that students are encouraged to take notes and not engage or interact in discussion.

This source is very challenging to my argument because it supports both positive and negative sides of lecturing. This source is not often cited because it is not scholarly but it fits in with the previous sources because it does support why lectures are not the best way to distribute academic information.

    Molly Worthen, a professor at the University of North Carolina, expresses her despair over a trend that is leading to the utter elimination of lecturing stating that, "those who want to abolish the lecture course do not understand what a lecture is."(qtd. in "Lecture Me. Really.").Worthen, in her article "Lecture Me. Really.", places the value of lecturing not in the act of repeating a wrote script regurgitation of knowledge, but as a tool to present arguments and elicit listening and comprehension from the receivers. Worthen argues that these values are not being considered with the current push towards what she categorizes as a, "active learning craze"(Lecture Me. Really.).…

    The journal makes reference to a lecture given by Charles M. Magistro, Director of Physical Therapy, Pomona Valley Community Hospital, presented at the Sixty-Third Annual Conference of the American Physical Therapy Association, San Antonio, TX, June 28-July 2, 1987. The paper initially deals with the growth of the profession over the years with Magistro emphasizing that "We physical therapists never must permit our profession to be jeopardized by failing to provide those services that justify our existence” (Magistro 1728). He explains that “The most urgent of these challenges is in the matter of education” (Magistro 1728), the issue is really affected by funding concerns proposing to readers to support the foundation’s fund-raising campaign to improve the quality of PT education. He was convinced that “the foundation had unlimited potential because its goals were tied so closely to the survival of our profession, specifically providing funding for research and scholarship activities” (Magistro 1731). The author is emphasizing the need to support the foundation to improve the profession in one way or another, a message that has made the article interesting and persuasive. This article sheds light on several issues in the physical therapy profession. Magistro makes his opinion very clear on the topic of physician referral for profit. “I remain deeply concerned about anything and everything that has the potential to debase our profession, whether it be the improper use of supportive personnel by our own members or the reaping of profits by practitioners outside of our profession from their unethical referral…

    Traditional lecturing, means standing in front of a class and delivering a monologue. Even though the content is interesting, student interest wanes after approximately 15 to 18 minutes, according to Bligh Donald( 2000,pp53). It therefore becomes useful to develop strategies to keep the attention of students, as well as providing a break from note taking. When taking notes, it becomes harder to process the information being disseminated. Bynum(2004,pp13) There are a variety of techniques that have been used successfully by this author, to permit engaging and meaningful activities for students to investigate current themes in Information Technology as they relate to ethical…

    Note Taking Skills

    Note taking and note making is one of the most fundamental and important tasks that students must do. It cannot be doubted that a student that takes notes during lectures is more likely to achieve a higher grade compared to a student that does not. However, note taking might not have the positive effect the student wants if it is not done properly. “What to note down, how much to note down and how detailed the notes should be, takes time to develop” (Open University Malaysia [OUM], 2011, p. 92). Thus, this essay will focus on explaining the different methods of note making, how to take notes from printed materials and ways to develop good note taking skills during lectures. But first, an important question needs to be addressed. Why even take notes in the first place?…
