Can you give more details of this please? I can't quite work out what
the benefit of the cue card is to the student but it is an interesting
concept.

Assuming that the reason behind this is to make students attend there are
possibly better ways. One proving popular and successful in our School of
business is "cue cards". Students can give in cue cards of notes they have made
on the week's pre-reading as they enter the lecture/seminar room. All the cards
given in are returned to them priuor to the end of term exam and they are able
to use them as reference in the exam (as in an open book exam).
The result is that students both attend the sessions and do the pre-reading.
(A useful groundrule is to insist that cards are hand written and signed, and
tell students that rules of plagiarism apply to the cards, to stop
entrepreneurial students mass producing them)
