Guidelines for Mock Lecture

As part of the interview process, candidates are required to give a 5 – 10-minute mock lecture, regarding the interview panel as students.

The lecture should cover an item (or items) of the candidate’s choice from an existing (or proposed) course offered by the Faculty or Department.

The candidate is free to use whatever medium and teaching aids are appropriate, including laptop and projector, but is encouraged to use new technology.

The lecture should not be the first lecture in a course, nor should it be an overview of a course. The lecture will focus on explaining a particular aspect of the course to students who are unfamiliar with the topic.

The lecturer should begin by outlining any previous information that the students are expected to know (e.g. “I’m assuming you know how to ...... which we covered last week”). Questions will be asked of the lecturer, either during or after the lecture.
