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!) First ask students why they do not complete the study guide. I had a group one time that told me the study guide did not help to prepare them for the test. If it does, look to scaffold the study guide based on student ability levels. I give my study guide days in advance as well, giving students ample time to review for the assessment. I allow my students to use their study guide for a review game the day before the test; even give rewards for completed study guides.
