When I lecture to undergraduates, and have a full text in front of me, it's c. 5,600 words, which I print out over c. 25 pages of British A4 paper, double-spaced in a large font (14 point) so I can easily read it from the lectern. That would take about 50 minutes -- here in Cambridge, l'm supposed to start lecturing at 5 minutes past the hour, and stop 5 minutes before the hour, so students can get to wherever they are going next in good time.
