understand. The teacher talks continuously to the
class. The class listens, takes down notes of the facts
and the ideas worth remembering and thinks them
over later; but the students do not converse with the
teacher. Almost they might ask a few questions but for
the sake of clarification and not for the sake of
discussions. The lecture is essentially a formal
exposition which makes only incidental use of
narrative and description in setting forth the basic and
all-inclusive structure of an entire topic. The lecturing
is a great art.
