| | Two U of W professors listed as best lecturers By Nick Olynyk News Reporter February 20, 2008 They can put on quite a show in the classroom. Now, two Windsor professors will take their act to television.
Professors Ken Cramer and Finney Cherian are nominated for TVOntario’s Big Ideas’ “Best Lecturer.” The student-nominated teachers have been chosen from 38 applicants for the 10 finalist competition.
Both professors say their success secrets are to keep students engaged using multimedia tools, and discussions coupled with intense preparation.
Cramer, who teaches psychology, says that for every hour he lectures at least three hours of preparation are required. Once a lecture is sewn together, the psychology professor says he refines it over and over, adding videos and new information to keep his presentations dynamic and relevant. >> |
