"Bligh combines decades of experience as a faculty developer and in–depth knowledge of the research literature to create a refreshing review of the advantages and disadvantages of lectures and a practical guide to making lectures more effective for students. This is a rewarding read for anyone who lectures––experienced or not. I wish we had a book this engaging and this informative on every element of the teaching art." Michele Marincovich, assistant vice provost and director, Center for Teaching and Learning, Stanford University
"What′s the Use of Lectures? continues to be one of the best sources for new lecturers (as well as old) who want their lecture classes to contribute maximally to student learning." W. J. McKeachie, professor emeritus, Department of Psychology, and research scientist emeritus, Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, University of Michigan
"This very readable book will be a source of great insight for people who teach. Donald Bligh has spent more time and energy than anyone else in coming to terms with a task that bothers many teachers and trainers. He offers a well–structured perspective on one of the core activities in higher education. His research is impeccable and his conclusions are immensely practical. The new edition will be much welcomed." Alex Main, founding coordinator of Academic Staff Development for the British Universities, Murdoch University, Australia
