If you do not have Homework requirements in your subject, consider the following to measure Revision techniques (recall, transfer, application)
• Is there evidence that students have thought about or applied some of the class learning at home.
• How much do students require you to go over work ( have they processed the information)
• Can students recall what to do and transfer information from one lesson to the next.
• how much scaffolding do students need to ‘get’ or remember work /activities.
