The class pattern (for non-test weeks)
- Statement of objectives (late Monday)
- Short-term ("This will be on the test.")
- Long-term (Why we're here)
- "Lab" work on example problems (Wednesday)
- Individual reflection or group discussion
- Class presentation and discussion
- Finish up (Friday, early Monday)
- Questions?
- More examples
- Comments (see also "damage control")
- Turn in homework; get papers to review (early 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.
