Using CATs in a Business Program
I teach within a business program. Does any one have any ideas to use CATs? I like closing the course with the students reflecting on what they learned and coming up with a question that is unanswered, but I would like more ideas.

I have a diagram that summarizes a marketing class well. I tell students it will be on the final exam and I give each student a chance to draw it and label it on the white board at least once during the quarter. The rest of the students help the student who is drawing it. This seems to help them remember it and it lets me know where students have questions.
I have found in smaller classes that having one student, with help from their classmates, solve a problem on the whiteboard that summarizes that days lesson, or the previous lesson works well.
Hi Bobbi - You will find lots of ideas for using CATs here:
