Active Learning Activity: One Minute Paper

# data[].attributes.subject
Active Learning Activity: One Minute Paper

# data[].attributes.body
There are many variations on this activity. Below is one example from the University of Utah

The One-Minute paper is a quick technique that can be used in a number of ways in the class to promote active learning. As the name would imply, this technique requires students to write for one minute on a given topic or prompt. It is what you do with this information that can lead to active learning. Here are some ideas for using the One-Minute Paper to actively engage your learners:

Burning Questions - Either at the beginning or end of class, have students take one minute to write burning questions they have related to the readings, lecture, activity, film, etc. Then, you can have them turn to a partner and attempt to answer each others' questions. Next, bring them together as a class and see what questions are still unanswered or not answered to a student's satisfaction.

Summarizing Key Points - At the end of the lesson, you can have students take one minute to jot a summary of highlights from the lesson. Ask them to reflect on a particular question (e.g., What are the 4 elements of TBL? What learning objectives did we meet today? What steps are involved in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?) or simply write freely about the session. Again, you can have them turn to a partner or form a small group to share their summaries.

Student Course Feedback - Many institutions have online course feedback options for the mid- and end of semester, but instructors can create more opportunities to collect student input. The one minute paper on 'things going well and things you'd like to change in this course' can provide a quick, informal check-in for teachers and students to make sure teacher and learner expectations are aligned and being met.

Participation, Attendance & Learning - Each of the above One-Minute Paper strategies can be used as a means of gauging student learning and engagement. You can have them write on a 3x5 note card and collect them for attendance. You can also use the information to help you evaluate your instructional style - Are you being clear with your lesson (lectures)? Was there a key concept that the majority of the students didn't get? Are some people not taking this seriously? Did they have a different notion of what this course was going to be about? Who came to class today?
