3. Take Stock

• advantages • testimonies

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.

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!

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.
