Abstract:
|
The poster will summarize the components, which are necessary for the preparation of an effective course, in particular biostatistics for master public health students. The effective course is not only based on an effective structure but also has to incorporate an effectively designed lecture. We discuss in details the components of an effective lecture and make generalizable recommendations. We also discuss effective delivery and lecturing and suggest how to utilize concrete tips. Last but not least, we focus on the lecturer and give recommendations on what makes a lecturer an effective and memorable teacher. We believe that our poster is not only useful to PhD students preparing for their career in academia, but many seasoned lecturers can also benefit from our effective methods analyses.
