Preparing Students for the Exam How much class time do you spend reviewing for an exam? Do you offer out-of-class review sessions? Do you supply review sheets and/or review problems? Is student participation in such review experiences mandatory or optional?

I like to have students tell me what they have learned in the unit, as a review. For example, I'll ask them: tell me everything you know about bivariate data. Then they tell me what they know and we talk about the different concepts and skills. If there's something missing, I try to give hints so they will think of it. I review during part of the class session before an exam. Sometimes I bring a sample exam to class and students work on that together and we discuss questions they have.
