Brown (1978), define that a good lecturer is characterized as being well organized, well prepared, involved in the subject, friendly, flexible, helpful, creative, clear, sensitive, interested in students, open, systematic and committed.
Ramsden (1991) has identified a criterion for lecturers: -
a desire to share your love of the subject with students
an ability to make the material being taught stimulating and interesting
a facility for engaging with students at their level of understanding
a capacity to explain the material plainly and helpfully
a commitment to making it absolutely clear what has to be understood at what level, and why
showing concern and respect for students
a commitment to encouraging student independence and experiment
an ability to improvise and adapt to new demands
using teaching methods and academic tasks that require students to learn actively, responsibly, and through co-operative endeavor
using valid and fair assessment methods
a focus on key concepts, and students' current and future understandings of them, rather than on covering the ground
giving the highest quality feedback on student work
A desire to learn from students and other sources about the effects of teaching and how it can be improved.
