The problems of listening to a lecture could go on and on. There are a copious amount of different variables that take place when a lecture is being orally presented. “Is the lecture interesting?” “Who is presenting the lecture?” “Who’s in the audience?” So very often we find ourselves bored while listening to a lecture due to the sheer fact of the presenters voice. The only problem that occurs while listening to a lecture is the personality and preference of the one who is listening.
In order to have a successful lecture, we must be prepared for many possible problems. Some of the most common are:
- Uncomfortable temperatures in the room
- Poor acoustics in the room
- Dying microphones
- Disruptive sounds like coughing, sneezing, or ringing phones.
Before any lecture starts planning and preparation can help reduce these issues.
Heating and cooling are very important to the comfort of the lecturer and the audience. During the winter months it is important to have heaters ready to go. In addition, having extra space heaters is also helpful if some part of the room is colder than others. The same can be said for air conditioning in the summer. Having a fan with you can help cool you off or a personal portable air conditioner works well for small rooms.
