“Although many of us would like to get beyond lecturing, we often lack concrete strategies for doing so, particularly in our larger classes.” (p. 236) David Yamane, who teaches sociology courses enrolling around 60 students, reports on a strategy he uses that has allowed him to reduce the amount of time he lectures from 80 percent to something a bit less than 30 percent. He has created and posts on the course Web page various course preparation assignments (CAPs). Successful discussion in class depends on students having read and thought about course material before they arrive in class. CAPs are the vehicle Yamane uses to get students engaged with course material before class.
