methods and criteria

Hi,
How should I write what looks to be headings of methods and criteria. I am not sure how should one arrange/write the wording of the headings (especially in terms of countability and uncountability of the nouns involved).
Some examples:

Methods:
Point of contact -- using opportunities to build relationships with people
Lecture (why not 'Lectures'?? if it is countable)
Large and small groups
Impression and expression

There are XX criteria that should be understood ...
TEACHERS
LOCATION OF THE ROOM
CLIMATE OF THE GROUP

Point of contact -- using opportunities to build relationships with people -- Are you referring to something called the "point of contact method", which operates as described? If so, then this seems OK to me. ) Lecture (why not 'Lectures'??

  • If so, then this seems OK to me.
  • ) Lecture (why not 'Lectures'??
  • , "doing something"), so I think "Lecturing" might be better here.
  • Large and small groups -- To me, this doesn't describe a "method".

All the four points listed by you do not appear to be methods.
