The purpose of this session is to make students aware of when faulty reasoning processes and misinterpretation of questions occur and to give them numerous opportunities to correct these errors. Where the answer is not obvious or agreed upon by all, students may take turns 'looking up' portions of the subject later on in the evening and briefly reporting to the group the next day. Questions from all subject areas are covered throughout the program. In groups of 12-15, students will use the preview sessions to prepare for the next day's lecture. They are given a list of questions to answer in order to cover background information for the lecture.
Students sign up for individual questions, look up the answers and report to the group.
The goal of the preview session is to develop an overview of the next day's topic by reviewing key concepts and important definitions, and to raise questions that the lecturer will address. A group leader moderates the reports to ensure complete discussion. Back to the top of the page. This course is not intended to be an exclusively content-oriented program. Emphasis will be placed upon cognitive reasoning skills in the question and answer format.
