Lecture is done using power point. Students are supplied copies of the PowerPoint slides so they can more easily follow the presentation. Many times students get tired easily if a teacher relies too much on the PowerPoint slides by merely reading verbatim from the slides and does not expand on what the slide says. I try to find ways to reduce reliance on the slide content and focus more on expanding on what is projected. I find that putting information onto PowerPoint slides in a condensed form helps me to organize the material and gives focus to the important points. The lecture is followed up with entire class discussion, small groups discussion, and when needed practices exercises.
