Two years ago, I gave my first class at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Here’s 10 things I’ve learned as a new university lecturer.
1. You will rarely get – and hold attention – of the entire class.
2. Keep asking questions
3. It’s difficult – but necessary – to remain as objective as possible
4. Some moments will make it all worth it
5. It takes a lot of energy
6. Have back up plans
7. Students will not necessarily understand – or let you know this
8. Systems take time to learn
9. Mix and match teaching tools and methods
10. You will learn more than you teach
