I used traditional grading practices, assessing student progress through quizzes, tests, project, midterms and finals each year.

For retrieval practice to be effective at building and strengthening neural links, students must try to pull the information from memory and not simply glance over their course notes or the textbook (Miller, 2022, p. Don’t worry about the English translation.) And a translation in English is not needed. Stick figures are fine.)

(Photo: Wikipedia) If these new teaching approaches can deliver what their proponents promise, they could perhaps turn around pitfalls in college, like introductory math courses, which are part of a nationwide college completion crisis.
