Lecturing

What does lecturing accomplish?

Lecturing is just ONE of the several ways in which students learn. What they learn out of class ought to be greater in volume that what they learn in it.

They ought to spend more time and effort studying on their own since contact hours are limited.

How is the reality in our local universities and institutions? I somehow think that at this juncture, it is pointless to repeat things that are widely known in the country..
