Preparing the mind of the learner - Part 2

The effectiveness of pre-lectures has already been described in this journal.1 This paper completes the story by describing the effect of new teaching materials for first year undergraduates, which were designed to mimic the pre-lecture. It is shown that these materials are able to enhance the performance of the less well-qualified students so that their performance in formal examinations does not differ from that of their more qualified colleagues.
