This week I started the class at 8:45am. I stated on Facebook that I am not going to assign a quiz and also a discussion on case study 2. Students know how to use Kahoot! That is good it saves me time. The questions were easy. It was meant to be. Students were doing really well but I think that is not true test of understanding. The tests are. But IshaAllah, I thnk they can do it.
After the quiz, I asked the students to an activity that relates to the case study. The ultimate outcome is that I want to see whether the students understand the case study or not. I used the Pair Compositions method in this activity. Pair compositions is one of the activities in active learning and from information gathering it used mostly in language classes. But I think it could be used in any courses that requires student to write as an activity. I took longer than I thought. I believe that if students have ample time reading the case study before class, the activity can be completed earlier. One thing that I learned, anything that require students to read, you need give them ample time to read. I also should remind the students that it is okay to read the article or case study more than once. Breaking the article into smaller chunks can be helpful as well.
