In the second video with teaching advice from PhD students, Abeer Elbahrawy, Alex Gilder, Lee Jones, Alex Powell, Marianna Rolbina and Deanna Taylor discuss how to establish authority in the classroom, and how to engage students – key concerns that many people have around teaching.

The advice covers:

• the power of anecdotes, cultural references and asking students questions
• thinking about room dynamics – where are you placed in relation to the students?
• how to balance helping students with valuing your own time – perhaps through the use of office hours
• sharing your passion about a subject with students
