Putting It Into Practice• Pre-lecture quizzes activate prior knowledge and help develop
good study habits such as reading required course material before attending class
• Pre-tests or pre-quizzes help students understand what they do and do not know, and this helps them focus on weak areas before taking a high-stakes exam
• Quizzes re-expose students to key course material

assessments throughout the course
• Help students understand where they need to spend more study time by discussing assessment results with individual students
