It is a good idea to incorporate them in handouts. Again, incomplete diagrams or figures can be used in order to stimulate students attention and encourage them to listen to the instructor s lecture. Summaries can help students evaluate whether they have all of the information they should have learned from the lecture. Summaries can include a re-organization of the material, which can help students see the same information from a different point of view. For example, if material was presented chronology-cally in class, it can be presented topically in the review.
Summaries can also incorporate study questions to which the students can respond.
Course Work Provide questions on the readings. You can use assignments that refer to the readings to encourage students to read with a purpose. This might encourage students to look for important information and main ideas while doing their readings. Ask students to write a learning journal. A learning journal will encourage students to think about the important information or the main ideas that were discussed in each class.
