Why don't I post these before class so that students can take notes on them? (click to open)

I totally understand why this feels like a good idea but it isn’t possible for a couple of reasons:

  1. I incorporate your responses to the WarmUp questions right before lecture. So the slides are literally not ready until just before class.
  2. There are questions that I will ask you in class that I honestly don’t want you to have seen before.

My solution to this is to make sure that every slide has a page number on it (in the top right) so that you can associate your notes with the in-class slides easily.

Have a better idea? I would love to hear about it.

There is also evidence that taking notes (especially by hand) is more effective for learning!
