Teaching Large Classes: Logistics

Now the last thing I want to talk about with regards to successfully teaching to a large group is logistics. When I'm talking about logistics I'm talking about you, one person, versus a hundred people or more, or however many people are in your class. First of all, if you don't have a powerful enough voice to carry then you should probably use a microphone. Make arrangements with whoever it is that, you know, wherever it is that you're teaching that you have a microphone because the worst thing that could happen is that all of the students wouldn't be able to hear you and you don't really want to become a talking head at the front of the classroom. So you want to take your space, when I'm talking about taking your space learn to walk around the classroom. Learn to come out into the crowd. Get in with the people. Take over the whole space. Become larger than just standing at the chalkboard writing lecture notes. And you want to do the same thing with your gesturing as well. You should become larger than life so that you will be, will present yourself and carry yourself to all the hundreds of people that are sitting in your classroom.
