Many lab curricula seek to give that preparation through?pre-lab readings and videos with a subsequent quiz at the beginning?of lab time.? While this strategy is reasonably effective, it can cause considerable?stress for students (even though these quizzes are often a very token part of the grade)?and consumes valuable lab time.? During this ABLE mini, variations on the traditional?lab quiz were discussed.
