Not intended for final mark assessment

Students are provided with correct answers so they can reflect on their retrieval
The power of the retreival depends on factors such as level of challenge, time between retreival and orginal encoding
IMPACT: Research CONSISTENTLY indicates that students who participate in low stake quizzes as a form of retreival practice will outperform similar peers who did not or used a re-reading of notes strategy by at least 10% on final exams
