1. Good Practice Encourages Contacts Between Students and Faculty – Frequent student-faculty contact in and out of class is an important factor in student motivation and involvement. Knowing a few faculty members well enhances students' intellectual commitment and encourages them to think about their own values and plans.
2. Good Practice Develops Reciprocity and Cooperation Among Students – Working with others often increases involvement in learning. Sharing one's ideas and responding to others' improves thinking and deepens understanding.
3. Good Practice Uses Active Learning Techniques – Learning is enhanced when students talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives.
4. Good Practice Gives Prompt Feedback – At various points during the course, and at its end, students need chances to reflect on what they have learned, what they still need to know, and how they might assess themselves.
5. Good Practice Emphasizes Time on Task – Learning to use one's time well is critical for students and professional alike.
6. Good Practice Communicates High Expectations – High expectations are important for everyone – for the poorly prepared, for those unwilling to exert themselves, and for the bright and well motivated. Expecting students to perform well becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
7. Good Practice Respects Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning – students need opportunities to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can be pushed to learn in new ways that do not come so easily.
