I find Mike's analogy between Alzheimer's and Huntington's quite
inappropriate. We have known for eons that Huntington is caused by one
dominant gene and if that gene is in one's genotype, it will be in their
phenotype, period. In contrast, the factors that contribute to the

Maybe not new or inventive but still worth mentioning. My experience
followed by research I've conducted shows that the type of test students
expect to be given will significantly influence whether they choose to

And, that begs the point of them reading the material. All you've done is set
up a treasure hunt without having any need for them to do anything other than
thumb through the pages. I think we should first ask ourselves if we know why
they don't read the material as required in the first place.
I agree that this is a good idea; however, where I am teaching we have 7 people

intro) it would work, but those are typically upper level courses and by that

Hi Rick-
Good point. No system is perfect. To be fair I would tell any student that if

Oh do I wish that I had this when I was still teaching! I would have shown it

Hi Annette-
If you want to try something completely different do the following:
1. Make up a bunch of small (1" X 2") pieces of paper that have "This coupon

2. Prior to the start of the semester, go to the bookstore an

Not a question of justification of ends and means -- just a specific method of
