Re: [tips] Cheating watches

2016-03-25 Thread Rick Stevens 
Long ago, I was surprised when on TIPS people suggested letting students
bring in a 'cheat sheet'.  I've done that for a while, now, and think that
the value is in making them think about what they want to put on a single
piece of paper.  Admittedly, some go for the 'tiny writing award', trying
to pack info onto the page, but either way, I think that it makes them
study in a different way.  It might be even harder to make up a file that
would be usable on a tiny screen.  You surely couldn't search all of your
notes.  If you were listening to recorded lectures it would be hours of
material and a very limited ability to search through it.  If you had to
decide what to put and dictate facts in some shortened audio format, it
would amount to putting time into studying.  I doubt that this will catch
on.

I actually happened to mention this today in my developmental psychology 
course before they took an exam, and of course, I used a joking tone. It was 
interesting that one student had heard of these watches so I'm not sure how 
gimmicky they really are. It certainly made me think twice about things, 
especially the Bluetooth earpiece.
