John Slattery will report to Bob Lowe and will keep him informed of
the problems and the processes as details are worked out. Also to
be considered are demands which will be placed upon the Biology/
Psychology/Sociology/English & Communications disciplines.

THE GUIDED LECTURE PROCEDURE

"T can't listen and take notes at the same time - the instructor goes
too fast." This is the most frequently heard complaint among students
attending lectures.

If you suspect that this is a problem for your students, consider the
"Guided Lecture Procedure."

1. The GLP method gives each student a_chance to overview
the lecture before it begins. The instructor presents
a list of that day's lecture objectives and purposes and
also highlights new terminology.

2. Half the classtime is devoted to lecturing. Students are
encouraged to engage in active, intensive listening and
thinking only. during this time.

3. Immediately afterwards, students are given 5-10 minutes to
jot down important concepts from their listening.

4. Students then gather in small groups to exchange and discuss
the ideas they've selected. On the basis of these discus-
sions formal notes are prepared: main ideas are put into
sequential order, details are added, and conclusions are drawn.

5. Students are encouraged to reflect and review that day's
lecture immediately after class or later the same day. The
formula: previewing, listening, note taking, and immediate
review enhances long-term memory and learning.

The GLP allows students to engage in one task at a time: listening
first and note taking afterward. It is especially useful for math
and science lectures (which present a high volume of information and
require a high degree of information synthesis) for which it was
originally developed.
