What’s wrong with this picture?
The instructor assigns each group a chapter in the text and tells them they must teach it to the class.
What’s wrong with this?
Students pay tuition to have an “expert” teach—and in higher education, adjunct faculty are selected for their work place experience and/or their ability to impart knowledge to others.
Some might argue that having students teach the class involves them, and while that is true, the quality of the content knowledge often becomes nothing more than an encyclopedia article.
If you really want groups to present to the class, I would suggest limiting the topic to something very specific so that the group enhances the content of the text and lectures, not replace it. Challenge them to include the most current, relevant “stuff” and incorporate technology in their presentations.
Most of all, follow the group management suggestions provided in an earlier post about group presentations.
