DLSU Academic Lectures: Cohesion and Function

Christina R. Ablaza

Discipline: Communications

 

Abstract:

The academic lecture is one of the methods of communication most often used between teachers and students in universities and colleges. However, most lecturers cannot distinguish between a good lecture and a bad one. Moreover, it is common knowledge that students are unable to recall a lecture's content after a short interval of time; and they do not take writing notes down seriously. But ill spite of its pitfalls, the lecture remains a popular communication tool.
