Ever heard of a pop quiz?
- savolai 7y agoThat’s not the kind of unexpected situation the comment you are replying to is referring to at all. If the rules are not set in advance, they are basically arbitrary.
- oh_sigh 7y agoPop quizzes should be used to give the teacher information about what the students are actually understanding vs not understanding, not to actually determine a student's grade in a class.
- mnm1 7y agoEver heard pop quiz testing on material that wasn't part of the class or even the subject? Me neither.
- kingbirdy 7y agoPop quizzes have always been included in the syllabus's grading rubric in every class I've ever taken that has them. The date of the quiz is the surprise, not the fact that it exists and will be part of your grade.
- jeltz 7y agoNope, never had one. We do not do those in my country.
