I usually allow one note card per chapter of text that is being covered. It makes no difference in relative student performance and the students like the idea. By the way, the coke bottle cheating is hardly new. My (now 90 year old) mother taught me her favorite way of cheating in college. She claimed she didn't do it but her friend did. Write the notes on Necco Wafers, she says. Look up Necco wafers if you've never heard of them. After using the notes, eat the evidence. This is harder to do with a coke label.
Bill Scott >>> Annette Taylor <[email protected]> 04/27/10 7:36 PM >>> Very funny, NO! I let students put all the stuff that will cue their memories for things they can't possibly memorize if they are going to fully understand material. I know for some students it doesn't work that way but for many it does. I think the reason that the studies I've seen where these cards don't help find that, is that the students often don't use the cards correctly. I try to explain the best way to use them, but it's a lot like powerpoint: there are good ways and bad ways to use it. I'm finding that fingers work as good as my popsicle stick/index card paddles ;) Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
