It was all worthwhile...
I stepped in to deliver four lectures this semester in a course that I have never taught before. I was quite daunted by the prospects because I had very little time to prepare the lecture material (our head of department made a last minute request for someone to step in because the department had stalled in the interview process for new academics who were suppose to teach in that course). Today I delivered the first of the lectures. It ended with spontaneous applause from the students. I guess it went well.

I have to say AR that good lecturers are few and far between in my current experience of tertiary study, so to end with applause is a very positive sign. Well done!
Thanks Campbell...let's just hope they weren't applauding because the lecture was finally over!
Congratulations. You must be relieved and satisfied.
Thanks Victor...it IS a relief. Generally, though, I find the teaching side of academia just as rewarding as my research. I get such a buzz after each lecture.
