exit music

End on a high note. You have a lot of leeway with exit music, as long as it signifies a positive ending to the class. I usually go with upbeat & snappy but not so "in your face" as to force people to leave right away (unless that is the intent). Another approach is soft & reflective. The choice depends on how the in class activity is going & how I want the students to collaborate with each other before they leave the classroom (keep jamming = snappy music, reflect / plan = soft).
