I love this idea.

I require that my students memorize them and it has become kind a point to smile about me out of class. So I do it if they have tropuble remembering like me and also to think of me after graduation.

Whan I was working on my bachelors many instructors used power points with lecture. We had copies of the power points and could folloe along and make notes - it cut down on the time spent making notes that interfer with listening to the lecture.

Nursing has definitely taken notice of the overwhelming amount of knowledge we are teaching. The Conceptual Learning Model is an answer. In it the nurse will learn ther concept sucvh as oxygenation.

It takes critical thinking so that is a challange to teach, but the flipped classroom helps.
