Risk-free Assessment using Response Card Review for University Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
The response card review game is a non-threatening, collaborative, and attention-grabbing review game that encourages the participation of all students. Moreover, this review serves as a monitoring tool that allows instructors to gauge which contents students have mastered and which require re-teaching. Through repeated and fast-paced review games, students can achieve long-term retention of the key course concepts. Most of all, the game provides a fun, rewarding, active, and engaging learning experience and creates a positive learning environment.
