1. In-depth reportsInstruct students to choose a topic that resonated with them in class and report in-depth on it. This is a great opportunity for students to take an idea and run with it under your supervision.These reports often showcase a student’s interest, and you’ll be able to evaluate a student’s engagement level in the class by how they approach the report.
2. Cumulative, individual projectsHave your students pick a project to complete. This project should somehow reflect what they’ve learned throughout the course.
3. Personal evaluation papersRequire students to apply principles from your class to their personal lives.

2. Idea comparisonsInstruct students to lay out the main ideas of a new concept they learned. Then, have them compare that concept to another to see where they agree and disagree.In addition to helping students remember these concepts, this exercise makes them apply previous knowledge to a new format so they can remember it better in the future.
3. MisconceptionsAfter you introduce a concept to students, introduce a popular misconception about it. Have students discuss why the misconception is false and where it may have started.This exercise makes students think critically about what they’ve just learned while showing them how to debunk misinformation.
