How Diligently Would You Read Before Class If• It is likely that the professor would spend most of
the class on something other than the assigned readings?

class
• Students unwilling to discuss because “truth” has been revealed
• Convinces professor that lectures are essential

A More Effective Approach• Make them do something with the out of class
material first• Many not be able to go very far, but make them do it
• Step in after they have worked• Use what they have done as base for effort to move
them further• Faculty clarifies, expands

How Diligently Would You Prepare Before Class If• It is likely that the professor will raise questions
about the readings, but will wait for people to volunteer an answer?
• It is likely that the professor will ask questions on the readings, and call on people randomly for answers?
• It is likely that the professor will ask questions on the readings, and call on each student by the end of the period?
