I was talking another professor who does individual and team testing. She said she does not give them their individual scores before they do the team test. So students do not know how well they did before they take their team test. I'm wrestling with whether it's better to give the students their scores or not. She argues that it prevents those who miss a few items from controlling the conversation and they have to explain their answers in light of the text or understanding and not by saying , "well I only missed 2 so I think I know the answer on this one." Any thoughts one way or the other on whether it's better to give the students their scores before the team test or not? -- Herb Coleman, Ph.D Dir.
