Here's my counter anecdote:
I also work at an institution that can be described like yours. To me, listening to a professor lecturing has always been the most effective way of learning something. Not because the lecturing quality was so outstanding but because I apparently can absorb new information better when somebody explains it while I think along. I fall asleep much quicker when I read a text book (as opposed to a lot of other students).
- bm1362 13y agoThrowing myself behind your anecdote. Works for me, I remain engaged with a lecturer. Different strokes.
- aurumpotest 13y agoI too learn effectively when I've got outstanding lecturers lecturing at me. However that's rarely the case - some lecturers don't really care for the students; some care but aren't that great at lecturing... So in practice, lectures don't even always work for students who learn effectively from lectures.
