Abstract
For most of my teaching career, I have used small in-class discussion groups, short written assignments, and a wider-than-usual variety of hypotheticals, both in-class and out, in the first-year course in Criminal Law. This short article argues that these exercises can significantly enhance student learning. It also provides examples of each.
