university lectures
Professor's classroom presentations
University lectures are formal instructional talks delivered by professors or instructors to students, typically in large halls or auditoriums.
The format is largely one-directional—an expert speaks while students listen and take notes: I slept through my morning lecture.
Lectures remain the backbone of higher education despite criticism that they encourage passive learning.
The term extends to any lengthy, often unwelcome speech: I don't need a lecture from you about my spending habits.
