A Quick Way to Review

The best way to remember information for a test, and for use in your career or interactions with others, is to review information regularly. Start right after you have a class. Try the Minute Paper (adapted from Classroom Assessment Techniques by Angelo and Cross).

Answer the following questions in 5 to 10 minutes.

What was the most important thing you learned during the class today? (This can be more than one idea, concept, fact, etc.)

What important question remains unanswered?

Make sure you ask that question the next time you have class, and add the answer to the Minute Paper.

Save each Minute Paper you write. They will be great resources for weekly review (30 minutes at the end of the week) and for test review.
