Professor Farmer from BYU

• Deliberate Practice: 

1. Identify a practice task (sequence of progressively more difficult tasks).
2. Practice the task (need to be motivated – have goals).
3. Analyze the practice (informative feedback, evaluation, identify errors, monitor improvement)
4. Modigy practice task & then repeat (went from 4 practice tasks to 22. More microscopic in the tasks. Make sure it affects their grades).

• You must somehow capture the practice performance, so that they can later review it. Too hard to try to analize performance while doing it.
• With 22 exercises too hard to learn 22 different fact patterns. Students select one fact pattern to use throughout the semester. A web page lists who has which fact pattern.  Uses sharepoint to distribute materials during the class, including instructions fo the exercise.

• Supporing technoligy
  • 44 web cameras on video
  • share point server
• Students took trials seriously when videoed… immediately uploaded to the sharepoint server.
• Web cameras in cases on a cart. 2 cameras for each interview pointing at each other.
• Video Capture Utility in One Note. Are using something else this year.
• Use Comments in Word to mark up the individuals analysis of their performance.
• Classes of 16 are about right. More than that eats up too much time for the Prof.
