Practice Quizzes - OLD

California for Educators

Below is a table containing links to a series of practice quizzes that are intended to help you prepare for the more valuable quizzes you will take in-class.  They are also intended to give you an incentive to stay current on the readings so that you will be prepared to attend class.

 

Almost every quiz has two components:
1) questions that review the material covered in the previous session, likely to be on the upcoming in-class quiz; and
2) questions that preview upcoming class lecture and discussion topics.

One strategy you may consider is to print each quiz out before you read each assignment and pencil in your answers as you go through the readings.

Another strategy is to read the assignment first and then use the quiz to check the degree to which you have retained what you read. 

I DO NOT recommend that you simply flip through the pages of the assigned readings hoping to spot the answer to each question because to do so defeats the purpose of the practice quizzes. Besides, in-class quizzes generally cover material beyond what is covered by the limited number of on-line quiz questions.

DO NOT TAKE THESE QUIZZES UNLESS YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY INSTUCTED TO DO SO.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THESE QUIZZES VIA MOODLE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED TO USE THESE LINKS INSTEAD.
