Activity type: Lecture

Description: At the end of each lecture, rather than just provide a 1 to 2 summary slides, I made the summary 5 to 10 multiple-choice questions that recount the key concepts covered in the lecture. This always sparks and maintains engagement of the students, focusing them on these key principles in preparation for the examination. It does assist with students revision for the examination and helps removes uncertainty regarding examination expectations. It also allow students to quickly determine if they understand the lecture.

Application: This simple technique of wrapping up a lecture topic could be used in any course.
