Reading Questions: Encouraging Students to Read the Text before Coming to Class
Henderson, Charles; Rosenthal, Alvin
Journal of College Science Teaching, v35 n7 p46-50 Jul-Aug 2006
College science teachers know that students get the most out of class if they have completed the assigned reading. To reinforce this expectation, we ask our introductory physics students to submit a question they had about the reading. In this paper we describe the rationale and logistics of this assignment. (Contains 2 tables and 2 figures.)
