Teach From Off-Hand Or Notes

By
Both teaching from off-hand and from lesson notes have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what works best for you and your students.

Teaching from off-hand allows you to be more spontaneous, adaptive, and interactive with your students. Responding to their questions and engaging in discussion on the spot makes the lesson more dynamic and engaging. This approach also showcase your subject matter expertise and demonstrate your mastery of the material.

It's possible to use a combination of both methods, drawing from your lesson notes as a general outline, but also being flexible and adapting the lesson as needed based on student engagement and feedback. The most important thing is to find a teaching style that allows you to communicate the material to your students and create an engaging and meaningful learning experience.
