Communication is important and the ideas that have been
shared are very good. Here are a couple of more that
are not original with me...
--a minute paper works well at the end of class. Questions
like "Was there anything in this class that you didn't
completely understand?"
"What did you like best in this lesson?"
--a weekly journal adds a lot. We have the student write
about the class, how much time they spent on HW,
how their other classes are going ...
--this one came from a physics professor:
each student has a set of 3x5 cards with one letter on
each one, an A,B,C,D or E. At the end of class the
instructor puts a multiple choice question on the
overhead. On his prompt the student hold up their answer
using the 3/5 card. The instructor can evaluate their
responses immediately and pursue their answers with
individually directed questions.
