Approach To the Online Materials
The approach for making the Citation Made Simple Online Materials as helpful as possible includes the following.
​
-
Connected: For fall 2025, 31 videos and 12 quizzes cover all aspects of citing to cases, organized in a way that mirrors the coverage in the Citation Made Simple book, allowing students to read topics in the book and easily find the corresponding video in the online materials.
-
Videos: Professional videos provide an engaging way for students to review citation rules and topics--especially helpful for audio-visual learners. The videos emphasize important points and common mistakes with step-by-step examples. The videos average 6 minutes, allowing for sufficient depth-of-coverage while students can quickly review topics. The book and videos, especially when used in tandem, allow professors to fully flip classroom instruction on case citation.
-
Quizzes: Multiple-choice quizzes help students learn by ensuring they understand the rules for a particular topic. The quizzes are designed to be formative and instructional by providing answers, explanations, tips, and points of emphasis for each question immediately after a student answers.
-
Engaging: The quizzes require active participation and the videos use animation, graphics, narration, and music for an engaging learning experience.
-
Certificate of Completion: Students receive a Certificate of Completion once they've viewed all videos and completed all quizzes. Students can skip videos for topics they already understand well, but students must score an 80% on each quiz (retakes allowed) to receive the Certificate. Many professors set a deadline during the semester by when students must print and turn in their Certificate.
