/Strongly Agreed with thestatement “Mind Dumps make me complete my readings” one third was neutral and one thirdDisagreed/Strongly Disagreed with that statement. A new method, Classroom PreparationAssignment (CPA) was adopted in Fall 2016 for the third cohort (N3= 94). The students answeredguided reading questions for the CPA and brought two copies to the class where one was collectedat the beginning of the class, and the second was kept to take notes on during class. The CPAbecomes a study guide for course assessments. This study compared CPAs against Mind Dumpsin their effectiveness to encourage the first year Civil and Environmental Engineering students toread assigned material prior to the lecture. Class Preparation Assignments (CPAs) was the
