Answer to “How can I organise my lecture?”

 

Brown and Manogue (2001) describe different ways of organising a lecture.  These include

 

• The Classical – the content of the lecture is divided into broad areas and then sub-divided.

• The Problem Centred – A problem or series of cases are outlined and various solutions are explored.  Building a lecture round clinical cases with the students invited to interact can be a useful strategy

• The Assertion– As assertion is made at the beginning of the lecture and this is then proved or disproved through a mixture of argument and perhaps speculation.  This approach is less commonly used in medicine.
