Dear colleagues,
I am at present investigating the use of handouts within our
programmes. The quantity and indeed quality of these vary
tremendously. Although I question the excessive use of handouts I
do find them a useful learning and teaching tool. Are any of you
willing to share your experience with me in terms of the following
questions:
1. What do you consider to be a useful number of handouts per
session (lecturer)?
2. How do you judge the quality of your handouts?
3. Does your department have a policy on the number of handouts
given to students?
4.Do you think that putting handouts in electronic format, i.e. on
the web or intranet, is helpful?
5. ant other comments you may have regarding this topic.
