Pedagogy Review

Pedagogical Review of Lecture Slides

Review the deck for teaching quality. Read-only — produce a report, do not edit files.

13 patterns to validate

1. Motivation before formalism — "Why?" before "What?"
2. Incremental notation — avoid 5+ new symbols on one slide
3. Worked example after every definition — within 2 slides
4. Progressive complexity — simple → relative → distributional
5. Fragment reveals for problem → solution (sparingly)
6. Standout slides at conceptual pivots
7. Two-slide strategy for dense theorems
8. Semantic color usage (consistent meaning)
9. Box hierarchy (definition vs highlight vs key result)
10. Box fatigue — max 1–2 colored boxes per slide
11. Socratic embedding — 2–3 questions per lecture
