A lecturer is an academic staff member at a university or college who primarily focuses on teaching courses rather than conducting research. Lecturers are responsible for delivering lectures, creating lesson plans, and assessing students' work. They may teach undergraduate or sometimes graduate courses, depending on their area of expertise. While lecturers may have advanced degrees, their main role is to impart knowledge to students in a structured classroom setting. Unlike professors, lecturers may not be required to engage in extensive research or publish academic work, though they may contribute to their field in other ways.
