Quizzes are intended as an active learning opportunity for
students to make meaning of previous lectures, assigned readings, and
assigned activities from the textbook.
Quizzes are also an opportunity for students to practice answering questions for the Midterm Test and Final Exam.
Since
the role of almost-daily, in-class quizzes is to give students
nearly-instant feedback on their learning progress, I use ZipGrade.com
on my iPad and as the multiple choice optical answer sheets. https://www.zipgrade.com/
I
am happy to note that adjusting optical answer sheets and quizzes to
meet the learning needs of students with disabilities (e.g. sight,
reading, or hand-eye-coordination disabilities) is a simple
accommodation.
Quizzes take place at the start of the
class and optical answer sheets will be used.
Questions are based on the relevant
chapters in the textbook from previous lectures.
To help students prepare to get the most out of
lectures, a detailed class schedule is provided.
