I've been adapting a method of lecture and hands-on assignments in all my classes. Showing an example on the projection screen, then allowing the students to perform the same task in class not only keeps them focused but gives them a sense of accomplishment of the task. I don't feel just talking about it effectively works, but let's do it together attitude shows the student they can do it as well.

Printed versus Digital Course Outline

My method introduces uploading a digital version of the course outline and syllabus to the students prior to the first day of class. On the first day of class, we go over the material on the projector and discuss it in class. I really don't see the necessity of printing thousands of pages of material to students possessing laptops with the ability of using technology and downloading digital files.
