Subject: how to lose your students in 30 seconds?

Dear colleagues,

I am looking to create a short but also fun 'learning object' to communicate with my PGCert participants things that they should avoid or at least think twice before they say to students when they start their lectures or any teaching session. Through an informal session with past PGCert participants we identified  the following as possible ways to 'lose your students' attention in 30 seconds':

1. I am not an expert in this area but I was asked to cover the materials ....
2. I haven't updated this presentation for a while now...but
3. I know this presentation is going to be boring, but please try to focus....
4. This is a very difficult lecture but....

Can you please add to this list your top phrase? My aim is to create a short 5-8 minutes video in the form of an animation with talking heads using the expressions that I will collect.  I will make the video available through youtube to this list so you can use it if you think it would be of any use to you! I will acknowledge all contributors at the end of the video. Please reply directly to my e-mail to avoid  overloading this mailist: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Thank you
