Case: Are Pop Quizzes Punishment?
Every time you ask your students a question during class, they just look at you as if
you are talking about something they've never heard of before, even though you discussed that very
topic in class last week. This is so frustrating for you that you are tempted to start giving pop quizzes
just to punish the students for not paying attention. Is this the right method to use? Are pop quizzes considered punishment? What other method might you suggest for teachers who struggle with this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Pop quizzes are not punishment, or at least they should not be seen as that. The pop quizzes I give in my construction class enable me check for understanding, or sometimes it allows me to check to make sure my students are staying on task. It also encourages them to participate, because they know there will be a pop quiz over the material. I do not let my students participate in lab activities if they do not pass their quizzes, so they typically take them serious. |

Comments: Well I like that the teacher is not punishing the students with the pop quizzes I don't think that you should remove privileges based on the quiz scores and should reward positive scores before you punish negative scores |

Comments: I don't feel this was the best possible solution for this situation. Limiting a students access to further assignments with additionally limit their growth and motivation for learning. |
