I need to teach two guest classes on research methods. Got my slides together, got my notes, but panicking and convinced I don't know anything.

Can't practice it because the lecture is almost two hours long and ain't nobody got that kind of time, so largely need to wing it and rely on notes and the power of love.

Fill a Listerine bottle with whiskey and periodically drink from that. It's what my old JROTC teacher used to do and he was loose as a goose.

I’d prepare a couple of emergency spares like one of those things where they group up and you give each group a question or concept to consider and then they share their conclusions with the class.

Maybe even something corny where the students do some kind of on the spot research like if there’s any correlation between the clothing they’re wearing and their involvement in organized sports - or whatever


Sounds lame- is lame

But if a long lecture really starts to bomb it’s good to have an escape plan instead of just sweating it out. You don’t have to use it if things are going well but some kind of activity based emergency escape plan might be a good insurance policy.

Seriously? You're all going to ignore what might have been a suicide note? I mean, maybe it's all bull**** but surely someone should be checking on him or at least echo my concern? I don't like the guy, at all, but that kind of looks serious and for everyone to ignore it seems, I don't know, cold?

Cue TH looking like a dick when BH shows up alive and well, but at least I asked the question....

Nah I don't care about him. It obviously sucks when anyone commits suicide but I can't be compelled to care about a person who hasn't demonstrated any character trait apart from being an obnoxious twat. I hope that you all speak so plainly about me when I eventually get executed by the cartel.

It's already in my will that all of the dogs in my household will be cremated with me when I die, so I'm sorry to let you down on that one. Corpses are a very environmentally conscious place to defecate, so go right ahead as far as that's concerned.

This evening I walked by a spa advertising a "chocolate facial". No comment.

^ Yes, that's good advice from OH. Those sit-round-in-a-small-group activities are usually very welcome by all concerned, just to have a change of emphasis for a while.

Lists can also be useful; if you are presenting seven types of blah blah blah, ask the audience to work in pairs and guess what they are beforehand. Or in pairs again, you can ask them to rank things in order; reliability, importance, chronology or whatever. The main point really is to give people a chance to fidgit and let off stream by confiding to each other - either that they know it all already or that they're completely lost.

Good luck!
