objectives on theunderstand level of Bloom’s taxonomy and multiple-choice questions for learning objectives onthe analyze level are shown to moderately achieve this goal. The feedback loop between studentsand instructor was instrumental in determining how to best use class time to support studentlearning. Recommendations for best practices, including how ChatGPT can be leveraged toquickly summarize student responses, based on the instructor’s experience and student feedback,are given.IntroductionStudies have shown that students who read assigned textbook sections before coming to classfind it beneficial for their learning. They have also shown that today’s engineering studentsrarely read the textbook [1]. Just-In-Time-Teaching (JiTT) is a pedagogy
