When preparing lecture notes, which of these mathods do you find most effective?

Summary sheets, Note cards, Tranceparies or power point, lecture in 10-15 minute blocks, and how do you decide how much time to budget for questions? Since each class I have is different from the next depending on student knowledge?

Steven Bonney

attention span

the short attention span of adults makes keeping a schedule for a class difficult. Are there any tips for keeping the lesson long enough for finishing the lecture without stopping every 12 minutes...

testing and retention of information

I feel that testing the level of retention is not the only purpose of the test in it self but the reinforcement of the information as well. it should be used as a way of a final review for students. as they build upon their information bank but some students may exibit overload when it comes to testing the fear of not being prepared by the information given creates anxiety for some. the methode of testing may also reflect the students inability to corilate the information because of this.

keeping student awake and interested

you should use all of the suggestions covered in the material we just covered. which of the methods you use will depend on a lot of different conditions. a few these would be : the weather, class size, subject, expierence of students in subject being covered, ect.

wher have they been

I always start with where have the students come from. which classes have they taken so for and how was that experience. Then I tell them what we will be covering in our class.

grading

We return the test back to the students right after they take it to go over the scores and the questions. Is this a good practice or should it be done on a individule basis.

Questions on tests

I am always having students wanting to argue about the content of the question on a quiz.of course its always a question the missed . What is a proper way to address them when they feel the have been tricked .or feel more than one awnser is correct Dan Butler

Brian Reeves

tests

We use alot of pre-made tests. They work well because alot of other instructors teach the same courses so using those tests kind of keep them on track to make sure that every class that comes through that course has the same information and are assessed on the same level as their predicessors
