One of my favorite Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATS) is the highly popular tool (game) I use for informal assessment. It has high student engagement and may be quickly modified to your class. This power point based game is a twist on “Jeopardy”. It plays just like Alex Trebek’s (Alex Trebek's Bio) TV game. The BCIT automotive staff have constructed many of these games tailored to fit each course with very high successful feedback from the students. I generally use this game early on in the course where education is competency based but it is suitable for all models of classrooms with a computer and projector. It’s a very effective tool to determine what has been learned and what needs improvement. I found it to be very popular when I spilt the class in half and make two teams to add some non-threatening competition into the game. It also brings lots of engaging classroom discussion along the way and Ohhhh….. yes of course there is the “Daily Double” and the music from the show that goes with it!
If you want to try one of mine just send me a message and I will email one of the games
