What are your thoughts on the use of providing study guides to guide a student's focus when preparing for exams? I see it as a useful tool for keeping on track for meeting course objectives.

Select the Correct Test

I've noticed that certain such as Essay testing brings out test anxiety. Students usually are more comfortable with True /False because they have a 50/50 chance of picking the correct answer. This is one of many reasons as to why I start with a standard test for a baseline of my student testing ability before I compose my on exam.

Questioning Techniques

During classroom discussions, I use games shows as a tool to engage student participation. I also make sure that the rules/guidelines of point allocations are defined.

Goals

I was always taught to not set far reaching goals, but rather goals that were more reasonable, for example, do not say "I'm going to climb Mt. Everest" but rather " I can get to the first 500 feet today and take on the rest later" Make your goals easier to obtain and you wont get frustrated.
