Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Jeanie, Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, the advantages of using CATs is that students are not stressed as they might be with a "test" and also that CATs can be used on as often as a daily basis to give us the feedback that we need.
