Extra Credit Exercise: A Painless Pop Quiz.
Thorne, B. Michael
Teaching of Psychology, v27 n3 p204-205 Sum 2000
Discusses the extra credit exercise (ECE), a pop quiz variation that combines the benefits of frequent, unannounced testing with the features that make quizzes less aversive (the ECE are extra-credit and do not hurt the students' grades). Addresses the benefits of the ECE assignment and the students' reactions to it. (CMK)
