IF YOU WANT TO:
Keeping a set of cumulative notes for each course topic.
Most teachers keep a chronological set of lecture notes from the first to the most recent time they have taught a course. Many teachers keep separate notes for each lecture topic. "To these I add research articles, newspaper clippings, cartoons, ideas for assignments or exam questions and notes to myself for improving the lecture or discussion," reports a professor of English.
By keeping separate topic files and inserting new materials and notes of new ideas throughout the year, it becomes much easier to prepare a new set of lecture notes with improved or more up-to-date examples, assignments, or explanations the next time you teach.
