Strengths
Clear voice and great flexion of your voice

Great integration of material: linked agents used for pain to specific oncology medications
Great transitions between section and paused to ask for questions
Verbally emphasized important points
Gave students a break to recharge and ensure attention
Great handle on technology
Within allotted time for the lecture (9:05-10:21 am)
Oriented students to how to study the charts and anticipate exam questions with conversions to manage expectations
Provided extra patient cases for additional practice to reinforce material
Opportunities
Would focus exam questions primarily on pharmacotherapy and based on patient cases
Suggest monitoring chat closer during your lecture
Overall, I really enjoyed giving this lecture and I think it showed throughout the presentation. At the start of the lecture, I could tell I was nervous given the use of filler words but as the presentation went on, I became more comfortable with the classroom environment which showed in my demeanor. One of the biggest areas of opportunity I identified was the use of Zoom technology for asynchronous learning, including monitoring the chat for questions. I think this could have been avoided had I practiced my lecture ahead of time on campus to become more familiar with the setup in the classroom. On the other hand, my biggest strength was demonstrating my expertise with opioid management by sharing my personal experiences throughout the presentation. While this was a challenging topic to teach, I feel that I was able to deliver on the stated objectives in a clear and concise manner.

Strengths
Tuesday did a great job introducing herself, which demonstrated her experience in telehealth to gain rapport with students.
Tuesday presented her class over zoom. She is very clear and articulate when she speaks. Although she was over zoom, she maintained good eye contact looking at the screen. She did a good job making it interactive and asking students questions about telehealth/telemedicine to gain their perspectives.
Since the students were over zoom she did a good job taking mini breaks throughout the lecture.
The slides were very informative and easy to follow. They had different visuals which help keep the students engaged in the lecture.
Tuesday’s exam questions were consistent with lecture objectives.
Opportunities
I would recommend to wait a few more seconds when asking questions of students to give them time to think about the question and provide a response.
Strengths
Started and stopped within the allotted time
Clear voice and enunciation, comfortable pace
Incorporated active learning, questions for students, and visual aids (videos) to re-enforce material
Incorporated personal experiences for students to relate to
Great eye contact and no distractive mannerisms
Took breaks at meaningful stops during the lecture
Very good handle of technology
Excellent use of downtime during technology issues by asking students questions and sharing experiences!!!
Opportunities
Suggest waiting/allowing more time for students to answer questions and/or provide comments.
Surprisingly, this lecture was more difficult for me to deliver than the clinical lecture that I taught. I think this stems from the fact that the topic itself was more subjective and required engagement through additional active learning activities. Similar to the last lecture, I could tell I was nervous in the beginning by the use of filler words which seemed to dissipate as I got into a rhythm. I agree with the feedback I received from my preceptors that I could have allowed more time for students to answer questions throughout the presentation. In general, I felt that I was rushing the presentation because I was worried that I wouldn't finish on time and this translated to not permitting enough time for students to respond. In the middle of the presentation, I encountered technical difficulties that required me to pivot. This gave me an opportunity to provide additional perspective on the topic, while also check in to answer any questions. Following the lecture, I received an email from one of the students who enjoyed my lecture and wanted to hear more about my career journey. This email alone demonstrates to me that I was able to successfully engage the students and maintain an environment of learning.
