The class pattern (for non-test weeks)
- Minilecture to guide your reading;
statement of objectives (Monday)
- Short-term ("This will be on the test.")
- Long-term (Why we're here)
READ THE CHAPTER!
- "Lab" work on example problems (Wednesday, Friday)
- Individual reflection, group discussion, "brainstorming"
- Class presentation and discussion
- Finish up (Friday, next Monday)
- Questions?
- More examples
- Comments (minilecture on request) (see also "damage control")
- Turn in homework; get papers to review (next Monday)
- Return homework papers you've reviewed (next Friday)
- Minilecture for damage control if necessary (ASAP; probably week after
next)
In practice, deviations from the pattern will be common.
