In a perfect world, a lecture should be the least used mode of instruction. In fact, all forms of instruction should be as minimally invasive(1) as possible. That said, a great lecture by an expert can inform, inspire, or entertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, I stumbled upon an impressive lecture by veteran MIT Professor Patrick Winston<\/a>, simply titled, “How to Speak<\/em>.” The lecture was recorded in its entirety eighteen months before his death. While I don’t agree with everything he says, anyone who speaks publicly or teaches from the front of the room will find plenty to learn from this masterclass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
