15 Lecture and Summary (Application) (LSA): Plan Ahead! See pp.2-3 in “Instructions for Teachers” Two possibilities LSA at the end of the semester (Week 12 to Week 14) Assign a small portion of a specific lecture every week (with a worksheet that helps understanding) Students have something to watch or listen to every day. No need for the LSA sessions at the end and hence spending three classes for one chapter is possible. (See the next slide.) Other options Teacher delivers a lecture. Students watch the assigned lecture at home and teacher reproduces (a part of) it in class.

Notes to SPRS To achieve a goal, students must obtain 60% of the points (shown in brackets [ ]) in one of the assessment for that goal.
