One year on - Reflections of a new lecturer

In September 2004 I was asked to address the Induction Course for Lecturers New to Teaching Mathematics in UK HE (organised by the Maths Stats and OR Network). I had attended the event as a delegate in 2003 and was keen to pass on my experiences at this friendly and supportive forum. My comments in this article are based on the talk I gave and the feedback I received. I hope that they will form a useful list of tips to try and pitfalls to avoid for those (like me) who are new to lecturing.
