MAILING LISTS

I usually give short answer quizzes with about 4-5 questions.  With up
to about 40 students I can grade the quizzes by myself in the time
allowed, but not record the results.  I have them turned in after class
for recording.

Subject: 6 week class, grad student resistance

Hi All

I teach in a system where all courses are held once a week, from 6-10 in
the evening, and the classes are only 6 weeks long. Would you recommend
6 RATS or fewer?

Also, I plan on giving these to Masters level students who don't usually
get much in the way of multiple choice quizzes. They are generally
resist them and regard them as inappropriate for graduate level work.
They associate multiple choice with undergraduate work. Does anyone have
any ideas about how to work with resistance like this?

Sincerely,

Don McCormick
