preparing the lectures

I have now prepared the first 6 lectures. It takes me approximately 4-6 hours for each lecture; this includes
  • brainstorming
  • reading the textbook
  • searching for articles from the education literature about what students have most trouble with
  • storyboarding the layout of the lectures, i.e. what the 14-16 powerpoint slides will each be about
  • creating the clicker questions
  • filling in each powerpoint
I enjoy the process, but worry about the rate at which I am getting them done. I wanted to be half-way through the course in prep by the start of semester, which would be 20-21 lectures finished
