Hi Karla - I think that using frequent quizzes is a great way to check up on how the class is doing before too much material is covered.

Hi Steve - I would imagine that if you do this regularly, the class will pay attention as they never know when their card will come up!

Questioning Techniques

Hi Charlie - involving your students in their own learning by making them part of the questioning process is a great idea.

Hi Michelle- We can always do student evaluations of their instructors but ultimately the only way to know what they have learned is through assessments of what they have learned. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career! - Susan

HI Bob - you are so right! So many students did poorly in high school because they had to sit and be lectured to. One of my most memorable moments is when I asked one of our new graduates what she planned to do after graduation. She said " I am taking my diploma to my high School Guidance Counselor who told me that I would never succeed in college" . I still have goosebumps from that one......

Hi Michelle- Your post was very well stated - ulimately the whole purpose of testing is to determine what the student knows. When a student is successful in a test they also gain confidence in their ability and mastery of the material.

Questioning Techniques

Hi Jack - welcome to ED 103! Great questions - I have no idea of the answers! (-: How do you generally ask these questiond? Do you ask a specific student or throw them out to the whole class? Do you invite others to expand on an answer you get?
