  Case: Study Guides
Mr. Williams gives his students a study guide, which is very similar to the test, prior to every summative assessment; however, many of the students are not completing the study guide. Is the use of a study guide effective? What are some other ways that Mr. Williams can review for assessment other than the use of a study guide?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel that study guides are useful. I also like the suggestions of others to use interactive games to study. However, I often use a combination of the two. If students are not completing the study guide I suggest taking it as a daily grade. Student may perform better if they know it's a grade. You might also consider giving extra credit on the assessment with a completed study guide.
