1. ‘Incorporating the One
Minute paper for large
classes’
Dr Peter Nicholl and Dr Gaye Lightbody
School of Computing and Mathematics

2. One Minute paper typically
comprises of the following two
questions:
 What have you learnt from this week’s class?
 What are the key things that you need to go over
again?

3. Students have the added level
of communication between the
staff and other students with
several potential benefits:
 Letting the students instantly tell us what they
found and didn’t find useful;
 Give us some measure of student engagement
over the semester;
 Highlight areas within the subject that may cause
difficulty for the students;
 Highlight to the students that their peers may
share their same concerns.

4. Demonstration

administered

7. Profile of activity and engagement in using the One
Minute paper over a Semester

8. Participants in the workshop will review the results of the
questionnaire from 36 students that were asked their
opinion of using the One Minute paper.
It will allow for discussion on how to use the process for
large classes across a Semester.
With the tail-off from Week 6 the workshop will also
introduce the concept of a traffic light system with for
lecture material:
 red – to mean slow down and go over;
 orange – we are finding this challenging, but
keep going at this pace;
 green – the lecturer can speed up as we all
understand this topic.
This new system will be discussed further to decide on
the best way to implement this proposed traffic light
system during a module.
