  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 if used correctly; it would help a teacher assess what the student has retained in that particular subject. The pop quiz would be over the same materials that we have gone over and let them know that it is to ready them for the upcoming unit test. I would use this as a strategy to keep them on task.
