Classroom assessment techniques (or CATs) are activities for obtaining feedback from students around their learning which informs your teaching practice. Angelo and Cross (1993) argued that CATs are an effective way to receive meaningful feedback from your students related to your teaching. CATs can range from a short 2-minute exercise to a longer exercise and are highly adaptable and modifiable to fit your unique class or lab dynamic and your teaching needs.
