Baker, Linda; Lombardi, Bruce R. – Teaching of Psychology, 1985

Barrett, L. R. – Higher Education Review, 1991
Critics of student writing in British lecture courses as "mere rehash of lecture notes" are reminded that (1) by its nature, the lecture course focuses on and is limited to information conveyed in lectures, and (2) professors refuse to use materials such as U.S. textbooks that could supplement the information conveyed in class.
