For "low stakes" assessment I like quick-writes. I generally use two types. In one, I have students write a paragraph or two about a topic we will discuss that day. This gets them thinking about it and I don't get so much "dead air" when I ask for comments. The other is simply a quick statement that may include a question the student has or what the student is having difficulty understanding in the chapter at hand. Both of these also function in place of attendance measures and can be useful feedback for my teaching or I can just grade them as pass/no pass if I am rushed.
