Classroom teaching methods generate a lot of debate among educators. Some teachers think the traditional lecture method of teaching is the only way, while others claim students need to be more actively involved in the learning process. In a classroom lecture, the teacher will talk about one subject for a set amount of time. Any instructor considering teaching her students using classroom lectures should take time to consider the method's advantages and disadvantages. Covering Ground Faster An instructor has a lot of material that she is required to teach and not so much time to cover it. The lecture method allows the teacher to decide what material to teach and ensures that it is explained to students in the way she desires within the allotted time. Other methods of teaching that give more autonomy to the students require more class time. For example, learning material through group research may take a long time depending on how fast students can learn and work. A group lecture, on the other hand, covers the same material in a shorter time since time is only dependent on how long it takes the teacher to explain the concepts she plans to teach.

Organization is critical but a well-planned lecture is only successful as long as it stays completely on track.
Lectures simply offer a way for teachers to carefully execute their teaching according to a precise plan.
