– promote student learning
– reduce student confusion
– Identify teachable moments
• Have students answer quiz question

31. Take Stock: Advantages
• encourage students to read material before class
• immediate feedback on students’ understanding of readings
• allows me to interact more with students in relaxed manner
• provides context for me to be more playful and have fun
• encourages students to have more fun
• helps me make the course GREEN
• results in less time to course administrative duties.
32. Take Stock: Student Testimonies
(underlines added for emphasis)
• The quizzes in class were often challenging, but they
helped me to understand the material and definitely
improved my exam scores.
• Even if I was ticked that you made me read before I came
to class because of those quizzes, I am glad cause I
actually read and then learned more!
• I liked the in-class quizzes because it made you come to
class but the material we were quizzed on was fair.
• (I liked) the required quizzes every day of class. It makes
me go to it, and prompts me to learn prior to it. Genius!
33. Take Stock: My Testimony
Overall, this new approach designed to encourage student
reading has helped me to breathe new life into my class,
increase my ability to connect with students, and create a
more playful learning environment all the while reducing my
work load; clearly a win-win situation.
