Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi James - Thanks for your post to the forum! You make a good point - when planning our lessons we need to be sure to decide on spots where we need to check for understanding. Waiting till the end of a lesson to ask "Arew there any questions?" is not a good strategy! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
