| Title of Talk | Using short "lecture challenge questions" in large lecture courses |
| Abstract | The talk describes my use of daily "lecture challenges" in large lecture courses such as Calculus or Mathematical Ideas. These "lecture challenges" are one-problem quizzes on material presented in the same lecture. Problems are typically easy problems that might be test questions. There is no partial credit. Students get one point for a wrong answer, two points for a correct answer. Absent students get no points, so students are motivated to attend. The problems are very fast to grade. Students may help and teach each other. |
