“More Testing, More Learning”

• If professors gave additional brief exams at frequent intervals, students would be spurred to study more regularly, learn more, worry less, and perform better on midterms, finals, and other papers or projects.
• Tests closer together improve students study habits.
• Greater frequency in test taking means greater frequency in studying for tests.
• Objections to more testing are that professors argue they take too much time to grade and take up important class time.
• Solutions would be that it helps students prepare for midterms and finals, provides study questions, and reduces anxiety.
• Basically, it would make a difference to have more frequent tests.
