Put more time into explaining content than you think is necessary because students may not retain all the material the first time you explain it.

Just because you can explain an idea in one minute, doesn’t mean students can understand it in one minute.
Additionally, don’t assume that students have fully learned every concept you’ve explained in class.

Make sure to include concepts in assignments before testing students on these topics so students have a chance to improve their comprehension.
