Top Lecturer Interview Questions & How To Answer

Question 1

Question #1: How will you make sure that you're meeting student expectations?

How to answer
How to answer: An excellent lecturer doesn't just meet the expectations of their employer, they also have to meet the expectations of their students. Failure to live up to student expectations can lead to students becoming disengaged with the class. Assure the interviewer that you'll issue a student survey at the beginning of the semester to get an idea of student interests and academic needs and that you'll maintain open communication throughout the semester.
Question 2

Question #2: How will you help students who don't seem to have a grasp on the material?

How to answer
How to answer: This question allows you to demonstrate your interpersonal skills and your ability to adapt your lectures to meet the needs of all of your students. Let the interviewer know that you are always available for one-on-one conversations with your students when necessary. Provide examples of how you've adapted lectures to make them more relatable.
Question 3

Question #3: How do you track student progress?

How to answer
How to answer: The interviewer wants to know how you test your students to make sure they are comprehending the material. Provide examples of how you test your students and how you give feedback.

3,269 lecturer interview questions shared by candidates

The first interview was fairly informal, I wasn’t required to prepare a presentation at this stage (although the level as to which I was expected to prepare was very unclear and I had to liaise with admin to reach clarity on this). The second interview was much more detailed and required hours of prep; I had to prepare two separate presentations. The first was about my teaching activities and student work (briefs, modules, feedback etc.) The second was a choice between two very specific questions asking me to propose a delivery structure for the programme.
