Classes of 30 people

Hi,
I'm used to teaching classes of about 30 people and I must admit that discussion is often slow-moving. It surely depends on the motivation and commitment of your students but I've never had more than three committed students in class who "saved" the discussion. Of course, discussion must be included but to make sure everyone gets something out of the lessons and the total course, lecture is inevitable.
Mind-maps on central characters and presentations of students can be a welcome change to lecture.
