Then Sts took a short google form quiz related to the video and previous class material.

The answers were displayed on PowerPoint slides and discussed together in class.

 

Sts were divided into three groups, and moved to breakout rooms.

Sts were asked to give a short definition, to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the method in question, and also when to use and not to use it.

Finally, the answers were read out loud by the group leaders, respectively, and then discussed in class.
