Get Your Students Hired
we have just started giving the students self study assignments and i use the review process to check if they have done it, in a very casual format. once they have realized that the self study and review can help them through the tests, all the class does the self study.i usually alot one hour at the beginning of class for this.
I will give two reviews one at the start of the day that covers the day before and then one at the end of the day that covers the main topics that was covered. This will cover about 30 minutes at the start and 30 minutes at the end of the day.
After each lab we have a review of what the lab stations were and the correct procedure for that station. Some stations require a little longer reviewing than others but on the average we use about hour a day for review. We also review over what we want them to do and the process.
Hi Jeffrey,
Good points about how to get the students engaged in the material and then stored in their working memory banks.

Hi Louis,
Good way to get insight into where the students are and how much content they are able to remember and use.

You don't use reviews use lesson recap questions and answering. This lets the students relearn all the info they may have missed and ask questions about it. This is also a good tool for keeping the students attention and in class not roaming around the halls. It is a great time filler when you finish a lesson early.
I use the self study info we offer to the students as a way to see how much knowledge they have gained from it. I normaly spend about 20 mins of time for the reviews.
When I do a review I try to break the material down into simple parts and then assemble the pieces to show how they contribute to the overall system. By doing this I think the students can more easily form a mental picture of the material covered. This usually leads to an increase in their retention of the material since it is more than just words. Generally I devote 30 to 40 minutes a day to review.
Hi
I like to use reviews as a self study .The next day that they come in class I Like to keep them engaged in class material by starting the class with some q& a fromt he self study . this activity keeps them engaged and helps me as in instructer to see how much learning the are doing to see if they are picking up the course objectives.
Hi Daniel,
I agree with your assessment as to the value of such a review format. It really helps the students to leave with the content stored in their working memories.

Usually 15 to 30 minutes and this is done toward the end of class.If the subject matter is of high interest or importance I feel the extra time spent reviewing the topic is time well spent.
My review is over the questions previouly asked during the power point presentation. I generally review the previous lesson at the beginning of each class.About 30 minutesthen,then I connect the previous lesson to the lesson of the day .
Each day I review the previous days lesson at the start of the day. I find this jump starts everyone brain and make a good intro into that days topic. This can take anywhere from twenty minutes to about an hour or more depending on the subject and the student level of interest. I also find that study guides provide a good way for students to review on their own.
I used to use reviews to gauge what areas students may have been having difficulty. This would bring out questions from the students that were "afraid to ask questions and it would also give me some "one on one" time with those particular students.
As we can no longer use reviews. I allow them to review their notes after the lesson is done. I do allow them to ask me any questions about what they are not understanding. Generally depending on the time left after the lesson, their review time may last anywhere from 15minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the students.
I will deliver the prerequisite review of the subject material before starting the lab exercises for a given course. These reviews typically take 3 to 5 hours to complete. Review of the days lab activities usually take 45 minutes to 2 hours and are completed the same day or first thing the following day. Optional tutoring sessions are also available through out the course before or after class at the request of the students.
Reviews: I use questions all day so my review is over the questions previouly asked during the power point presentation. I ask questions to see if the young people are paying attention,and to see if the information I'm delivering is getting into their minds. Reviews are to make sure the info taught has been recieved by our students and not for purpose of test review.
Ford Fact has it set up really well for reviews. We go to lab and perform hands on tasks and then come into class and review that days labs. It helps the Students to claify what they may have missed.
In our HRM class, we have students make study guides, then 2 days prior to the exam day they are placed in groups with the study guides, then switch them so they have someone elses, we go over the topics and see how well they have been logging their notes for the exam, then they see how much they need to study. And do very well in their exams.
I will use key words & tell students they need to remember them . before a test they are given study time to research the key words
