Get Your Students Hired
What is the purpose of the pop quiz? Does pop mean unexpected or just minor? I see pop quizes as always being formative so they should be designed to help students see what they have learned and what they need to work on. Even on a scheduled test I like to ask the students some questions similar to some of the test to help them get into their thinking mode before passing out the test. I get a better picture of what they know and how good they are at problem solving if I have helped them to get their minds off of the rest of their life and into the school before they start the test.
