MIT OpenCourseWare: Mud Cards

Overview

Mud cards are a simple and effective active learning strategy used in class. Students write down what they want to know more about or what they find confusing on index cards. The instructor can review the cards and provide targeted feedback or additional resources based on student needs. Janet Rankin describes how she uses mud cards as an active learning strategy. She also offers advice to educators who are considering using this strategy in their own classrooms.
