Start simple by choosing a technique that easily fits your teaching style and classroom time limits.

Conduct at least one CAT before the first major assignment, so that you can intercept any problems or questions before the fact.

Don't feel obligated to do a CAT every day or every week. You'll create information overload for yourself and "survey overload" for your students.

When you do any CAT, explain its purpose and your goal clearly to students.

Report your findings to your students and let them know what you plan to do in terms of their feedback.

Provides regular feedback about student progress and can preempt misconceptions and poor performance on more heavily-weighted tests, quizzes, projects, etc.

Gives insight into day-to-day teaching methods and student learning processes. It also can model to students the fact that learning is an ongoing and evolving process that can be modified as needed.

Provides students with a means of gauging their own learning styles and then modify study strategies as appropriate.

Helps students feel less anonymous in large class settings, since it is concrete evidence that the instructor cares about student learning.

Provides "food for thought" for instructors as they reflect on their teaching and on a particular course at the end of term.

Give them to students at the beginning of class to spark a discussion. At the end of class, give students tickets to complete before leaving class. Those tickets can alert you to problems students are having with content, questions, and general comments. Address those issues at the beginning of the next class period.]]> 2016-04-10 16:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/104929936 djcminor https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/104930079 Elevator speeches are 30 seconds to 2 minutes long. Students can write and give elevator speeches on topics the class is addressing. Use the tickets as a prompt for an elevator speech. For example, in choosing a research topic, I ask students to write an elevator speech to give to the class and me on their topic. Writing and giving the elevator speech forces the students to look at the topic and explain it to others.]]> 2016-04-10 16:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/104930079 djcminor https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084096 2016-04-11 14:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084096 djcminor https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084391 2016-04-11 14:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084391 djcminor https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084804 2016-04-11 14:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/djcminor/eqmburx8jbj1/wish/105084804
