Hi,
I recently read James Hilton's article in this month's APS Observer with
some general tips about teaching large courses. Having taught with him (as
a graduate student small-section leader) I can't say enough about how much
I respect his advice and approach. His students love him as well! The
article might be a good start - it references other readings as I recall.
Good luck!
