Check for understanding by not asking book questions and expecting book answers. Ask variations on book questions.
For example, in junior math the prof went carefully through deriving the Fourier Transform. On the final exam, the question was to derive the Hyperbolic Transform. This was straightforward if you understood the FT, but not if all you could do was parrot it.
