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!) Study guides to a student look like more work before a test some in my experience they do not do it. I have used games for studying before a big test. My students especially like the team playing games against each other. I have also used the good old fashion pen and board notes where we do a KWL chart. The students actually find it entertaining. Sometimes going back to the basics is a great place to go.
