    Some lecturers have found that they made 120 main points according to their students who have been unable to distinguish anecdote from example from the concepts.
  • Concept Map
    Students are given a few minutes to illustrate the relationship between ideas or to fill in a pre-drawn concept map with the links provided, but the concepts removed.
  • Applications Card
    Students brainstorm some of the ideas discussed and then select two and illustrate ways that these ideas may be applied to everyday life.
  • The Muddiest Point
