Going over reading guide

On Tuesday during the class period, Dr. E's students discussed the reading guide. Dr. E asked a question and then she waited for someone to answer it or she called on that person. We spent more time on certain questions than others so we were not able to go over the entire reading guide. Thankfully, Dr. E made sure that before we left the classroom, every question was answered. It was very beneficial to go over the reading guide in class because then when it came to taking the quiz later that night, it really helped. The quiz that we took covered almost the entire reading guide and a little bit of information from the readings out of the book. The quiz was actually pretty easy but it did take me around forty minutes to complete it because I wanted to make sure that everything I answered was correct. After submitting the quiz I was a bit nervous because the computer results said I failed but then I found an email that Dr. E sent, telling us to not worry. I was very relieved to receive that email because I was concerned that I had failed after all the time I put into the quiz. I really enjoy the way that Dr. E does her quizzes because it does not cause any stress. The person taking the quiz can be free from worry due to the fact that the quizzes are not timed and you can take it twice. I think that when I become a teacher I might also do some of the quizzes like that because it allows for the student to truly think about what they are doing. It also does not cause worriment for the student and it allows them to be stress free!
