I read with interest the article titled “The Last Class: A Critical Course Component,” by Vianne Timmons and Brian D. Wagner, in the January 2007 issue. That article stresses the importance of wrapping up the course in the final class with exercises and/or discussion that causes the students to reflect on what they have learned. I agree with the authors’ basic premise, but the reality of my teaching situation seems to preclude use of the last class for their suggested exercises.
