Seminar Abstract
“What did you get for number three?!” said the student in the hallway post-exam. An animated discussion follows, punctuated by sounds of triumph and disappointment. This is part of the learning process, and the student who just realized their mistake will likely never make that mistake again. What if we could harness that post-exam energy for learning? Two-stage exams do just that. The idea may sound odd, but it is supported by research and student feedback. Come learn more about this approach to exams and why it can be so helpful for our students.
