Purpose:

Students will submit a summary of what they feel to have been the most important points covered in the course that module and relate this to their own teaching goals. This exercise has four functions:

• It helps the students reinforce and synthesize the material covered.
• Each student personalizes the material, adapting it to his/her own specific professional needs.
• Students get a multitude of perspectives on the week's subject and how it could be useful to them.
• It gives insight to the instructor to understand what parts of the course have been effective and what may need to be taught in more depth the next time.
