Andy THE OED defines a presentation as: "presentation n. demonstration or display of materials, information, etc..; a lecture."!! So it is difficult to suggest there is a difference literally. I suspect a lecture is more didactic and provides answers to your question whereas a presentation has more personal views, is less formal and raises more points of contention/debate. More likely, they were talking out of their ***** Matthew Senior Lecturer Emergency Care UK's newest medical school, Univ of Warwick. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: 25 January 1999 13:49 Subject: Lecture or presentation > >Hello > >I was recently successful in being shortlisted for a lecturer practitioner >post in a local A&E department (nursing).
