I ask all my students to buy a pack of 3x5 notecards and I'll reserve a few minutes at the end of class for them to write down questions (about the lecture or discussion that day, say). I then collect them as the students leave and follow the kind of procedure you describe.<BR/><BR/>I'd also add one other benefit that may be too obvious even to mention: It tells students you're listening and that you're invested in their success.Michael Cholbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012523929044363216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070355695530434450.post-29364945204633198942007-09-20T09:11:00.000-07:002007-09-20T09:11:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing this idea, Adam.

Lenore-Wright and Anne-Marie Bowery entitled "Creating Community in the Philosophy Classroom: Using Blackboard's Online Journal to Improve Reading, Writing, Thinking, and Speaking", Volume 29, Number 1 - March 2006) on the readings; this idea makes that idea even better. I will use this next semester - thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
