Grading, motivating students, etc.

[Janice Gearan]

Working in a community college setting, I really have students with varying
levels of preparation. In addition to encouraging students to take on-line
practice tests that go with the text I'm using (Myers) and participating in
study groups, I provide my own study guides for each of the 4 exams I give
during the semester. These are distributed one week before the tests and
students find them extremely helpful. Grades have improved!
