Thinking back on my days as a student, I can recall classes where it was all I could do to get the day’s information down on paper. I was so busy transcribing the lecture that there was no time to think about what was being said or participate in any meaningful way. After class I would work to decipher what had been said, and then there would be the questions I wished I had thought of in class. Once I started teaching, I worried that some of my students might be falling into this same trap.
