Doodle Quizzes
Dr. McCarthy believes in steady, long-term learning. This goal can be achieved with regular attendance, student participation, daily reinforcement, applications to everyday life, and retrieval practice. Daily, impromptu quizzes and in-class activities accomplish all these purposes and also make classes more interesting. They also place a large portion (25%) of a student's course grade in his/her own hands.
Impromptu quizzes (written responses as well as verbal feedback) will be given daily to promote understanding, self-assessment, attention, participation, and teamwork. Quizzes consist of several questions spread throughout each class.
