A good, competent lecturer has a number of qualities and characteristics, as the important aspect of the success of the lecture rests on him, and among his qualities is that he has a strong, respectable and convincing personality in terms of his psychological well-being and good experience in the field of his scientific specialization. Transferring it to others and persuading them of his correct scientific point of view, as well as the ability to express positively and transfer experiences and information to others, and to have knowledge of using (educational techniques) from casual devices and tools and others ... that help him present the topic he is lecturing on, as it is An important element and a necessary component to convey information to students' minds

In the general appearance of the lecturer, it is one of the important things that the lecturer must be good and kind, showing the difference between him and the students, as the lecturer’s clothes are always the focus of attention of the students throughout the duration of the lecture. Paying attention to his appearance, and not making himself a factor for criticizing scholars, just as the way he stands is correct, and he does not bend his back, and Islam has urged it.

As for giving lectures to the lecturer, he must change the tones of his voice while delivering the lecture according to its reality, exclamation, questioning or denial, and the movements of his body and his gaze as it rises at some times and decreases at other times. I ignored them. With regard to the principles of the lecturer’s movements during the lecture, they are:

1. The body movements must be automatic and compatible with what the lecturer says. For example, when the lecturer says his joke during the lecture, his smile in a natural way is appropriate to what he says, and the movement must be appropriate with what he says. The lecturer's movement during the lecture helps him to remove the nervous tension. For lecturers and scholars, it adds vitality and activity to the lecture, and avoids inattention and omission.

2. From the etiquette of a lecture, the lecturer should not focus his gaze on the ceiling, the door, the walls, the floor, or anything other than the students, or focus his gaze on one particular person.

3. He should maintain a calm expression on his face, and his eyes should be bright and expressive of what he says.

4. The lecturer should encourage the students and raise their morale, avoid using insulting and ambiguous words, and explain the ambiguous ones if they appear.

5 . The lecturer should avoid showing fatigue and stress and not touching on his private social life of descriptions and concerns, as well as avoid smoking during the lecture.

6. The lecturer must abide by the time set for the lecture, and to attend before the time of the lecture, because the lecture may call for some devices to make sure of their validity, so he should not be in a hurry or late if some of the lecturers have been persistent in not allowing students to enter after entering the hall, to add more respect and prestige to the lecturer, And if I do not agree with this behavior, because the late student may have his excuse, and thus the leader loses him from the lecture if he is prevented from entering it.

7. The lecturer should open the door for discussion and dialogue for the students and ask them about the information, scientific concepts and related topics in the lecture, and sufficient time should be allocated for that in each lecture.

8. It is very necessary to prepare well for the lecture, with an explanation of the concepts and terminology it brings.

9. It is important not to waste lecture time talking about his heroics and achievements, his writings, or his personal social life.

10. The lecturer should benefit from the students’ discussions and employ them to serve the lecture and spread the spirit of vitality and activity.
