How Do I Get Students to Complete Reading Assignments?

According to research, less than half of students do the assigned readings. If students aren’t completing these assignments, then they won’t participate in class discussions or activities, leading to more disengaged and fewer prepared students in the classroom.

This Magna 20-Minute Mentor offers a unique solution to reading assignment completion and student learning that aligns with the way students think in the classroom. By the end of this program, instructors will be able to apply a four-step, task-based approach to reading to almost any topic they teach that will get students to complete reading assignments and engaging with course content.
