Weekly quizzes are a common method for assessing student learning between unit tests. However, with a few small changes, quizzes can be a useful tool not just for assessing learning but also for promoting student learning. Here I will describe my experience replacing weekly quizzes with more frequent, shorter quizzes and introducing the option for revisions. This strategy takes about the same amount of time in class and requires little extra preparation, but I have found that it encourages students to stay up-to-date on their homework rather than procrastinating, and it increases student test scores.
