Tip - Ending the Semester Well
Over Thanksgiving break, you may want to plan ways to wrap up your course. For example, on the last day you might want to go over your course syllabus as a means of reviewing; ask students to write letters to future students introducing (or critiquing) the course; or use a game format as a way to review for the exams. For more ideas, see "Better Endings: What to Do in the Last Day of Class."
