The most important thing at the end

It is precisely the things that are discussed at the end of a course that students remember best. A concluding review of the entire course and identification of the most important findings creates important anchor points for the students.

Teachers get an impression of how their structure of topics and results are perceived by students, whether perceived priorities correspond to their own and can draw conclusions for further courses.

The method can be extended as follows: The key points identified are used as the basis for the introduction to the following course. This allows thematic connections to be made or key points to be explored in more detail. The key points can be used repeatedly to ascertain students' understanding and questions.

For exam preparation, it is conceivable to derive a knowledge map from the key points. Similar to a mind map, the key points can be related and branched out.
