In honor of TeacherAppreciationWeek, read more about some of the lessons that helped this professor become a more effective teacher.
While preparing to teach my first lecture as a new faculty member, I told myself:"You have many research presentations under your belt; you'll nail this!" It didn't take long for me to realize that I was way off base. A few minutes in, the students looked tired, distracted, and in no mood to listen—a stark contrast to my research talk audiences, whichattentive at least. At one point, I noticed a few students giggling."Do I look or talk funny?" I wondered.
When I became a faculty member, I had to take on a daunting course load, teaching 50 lectures and as many labs per semester. It felt as though I'd been dropped in the deep end of a pool with no swimming lessons. Class by class, my doubts about my teaching abilities mounted, along with my fears that students were not absorbing the key details in my lectures.
