Practice in class
Rapid feedback
Rewards teamwork
1. Forms (formative assessment)
2. Clickers (formative assessment)
3. Think-Pair Share (classroom activity)
4. Gallery Walk (classroom activity)
Readiness Assurance Tests (RATs) are helpful as they encourage students to come prepared to engage with course material.
This is a form of “formative assessment” giving the instructor insight into where students are in the learning process ◦ iRAT = individual
◦ tRAT = team
