| Method: |
Prior to starting a new
lecture, present two or three questions to determine if
the students read the chapter. Based on the feedback, you
will know if they are prepared for the lecture, allowing
you to move through the lecture at a normal pace. After
10-15 minutes, ask a couple of mid-lecture review questions
about the material just covered. Based on the results, you
can modify the pace of the lecture if necessary. At the
end of the lecture, ask three to five review questions to
make sure they understand the main points of the lecture
and understand their next assignment.

Professor
gets an easy way to verify that the students are prepared
for class. Students do their homework and remain alert and
focused because they know questions will be asked. Immediate
review of the questions allows the professor to correct
any misunderstandings and the students build confidence
with their correct answers.
