Abstract
In a large general chemistry class it is important to generate good communication between students and teacher. Ideally there should be instantaneous feedback between the student and professor. One tool to help improve communication and class attention is the "One-Minute Paper". A One Minute Paper given at the end of each lecture has been proposed as a tool to provide active learning in the classroom. This paper describes and evaluates the technique based on its use in a typical general chemistry class at a major university over the past five years.
