Readings vs. Notes

Michal Antonov

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting in this community, but I am in my second year teaching WHP 1750. It's that time of year when I'm focusing on best practices for next year. I've been assigning reading guides with the articles for students to complete almost every week. I've found that either my students don't do them, or when they do, they have difficulty understanding them. I've been considering turning the articles into guided notes lectures for next year. Has anyone done this before? Any thoughts?

    Hi  and welcome to the community! I completely get the struggle of what works best for student note-taking. My biggest question to you is what are you trying to have them get out of it? What I've done is given them a very standard outline broken down by subsections in the article. For each sub section, I have a certain number of required notes I want them to write which depends on the content in that section. I start off with doing this with them a handful of times, then have them transition to independent practice of this same skill. I'll randomly collect them to see how they're progressing and if I notice students still struggling with this, I'll make sure to do the next one with them so they get back on track. Does this make sense? Hope it helps!

    Do you have a template that you can share? The idea is (or was) that they study the material on their own and then use it in class activities and assessments
