S1 Ep2 - The Lecture is Dead, Long Live the Lecture! by Degrees of Freedom published on 2022-02-07T10:11:07Z The lecture! Mainstay of university teaching for hundreds of years, mow much maligned for not promoting active learning, for not focusing enough on the student, for being ineffective and uninteresting. For being too old-school. Is the lecture dead and should we think of it in those terms? In this episode, we speak with Dr Simon Dalley, lecturer in Social Psychology at the University of Groningen about what lectures are (and can be), how to think about structuring them, and how teachers and students can approach and best prepare for them.
