���Einstein demonstrates how not to lecture:

"Einstein subsequently went to Princeton [in 1921], where he delivered 
a weeklong series of scientific lectures and received an honorary 
degree 'for voyaging through strange seas of thought.'… Einstein’s 
lectures were very technical. They included more than 125 complex 
equations that he scribbled on the blackboard while speaking in German. 
As one student admitted to a reporter, 'I sat in the balcony, but he 
talked right over my head anyway'.”
