Copying / Sticking in, and 'There isn't enough curriculum time'

About this episode

Matt and Femi discuss the merits of students copying notes and the issue of limited curriculum time affecting retrieval practice.

Matt and Femi discuss two topics in this episode - the first is whether there is any merit in having students copy things down into exercise books, or even cutting them out and sticking them in. The second is the complaint one occasionally hears that there is too much to get through / not enough curriculum time and therefore we don't have the 'luxury' of doing any retrieval practice.
