The Prep Cycle
- Read for class. Get main ideas. Show reading knowledge on clicker quiz. (Content portion of class.)
- Come to class. (Method portion of class.)
- Note study questions and work to answer them during class. (We will do some short answer exercises to work on this.) Review if you don't feel you can answer the study questions after class. The Flow/Content rubric applies to this.
- Repeat.
- This is our basic pattern, but as we learn more we will build toward larger theoretical questions which are the basis of the exam essays and paper.
