Each set includes a ten-question, multiple-choice quiz and an answer key. Although the quizzes are intended as assessment tools,they can be used instructionally in several different ways:1.As announced or unannounced quizzes after students have been assigned achapter to read but before the material is discussed in class;2.As in-class work with a partner after the chapter is assigned and either before orafter the material has been discussed in class;3.As quizzes given after the material has been thoroughly covered;4.As homework assignments to be done following the reading but prior to thediscussion in class. With this option, you can collect and grade the quizzes as away ofencouraging students toreadthematerial inadvance oftheclassdiscussion, or you can go over the answers in class as a way of introducing theclass discussion of the reading.Mastery tests are designed to measure a student’s ability to apply the skills learned ineach chapter. These tests are intended to be practical simulations of reading and studysituations that college students face.Each mastery test begins with an excerpt from a college textbook, followed by tenobjective questions about content, vocabulary, and specific topics covered in the chapter.An answer key is provided for each test. Although mastery tests are intended asassessment tools, they can be used as instructional tools as well:1.As collaborative learning activities in which students work together to completethe tasks in each mastery test;2.As additional practice exercises. Some students may require additional guidedpractice in learning and applying particular skills.
