Minute Papers provide immediate mid-course feedback to teachers and allow quick
response to students.
This advantage is especially important in college classrooms, where many issues and
questions have limited life spans and time is always in short supply.
The responses—even from a very large class—can be read, tabulated, and analyzed
quickly and with limited effort.
Faculty using the Minute Paper demonstrate respect for and interest in student feedback,
thereby encouraging active listening and engagement, which are often lacking in large classes.
Feedback on the Minute Paper allows individual students to compare their responses with
those of the class as a whole.
