Quality handout development and use.
Handouts have been a mainstay of teaching for many years. Even as content moves to electronic delivery and dissemination, well-crafted handouts are often printed for future use. In this article, we examine appropriate handout use and provide specific guidelines for improving handout quality. A section focused on professional elements important during handout construction emphasizes the creation of handouts that become more functional, so they can be used outside of the classroom experience.
