Teaching Political Science

Teaching a lecture class can be intimidating. How do you organize your points, make the material accessible, and connect with your students? Stanley Hoffmann, a Harvard University professor since 1955, draws from his vast experience to share his thoughts on teaching and demonstrates his techniques in a lecture class on Charles de Gaulle. Hoffmann emphasizes the importance of organization -- focusing on the essentials rather than geteting lost in the details -- and being accessible to students. He also addresses the challenges of helping his students bridge the gap between their world and other eras and cultures. For more, visit http://bokcenter.harvard.edu
