Abstract

Pre-tests are a non-graded assessment tool used to determine pre-existing subject knowledge.  Typically pre-tests are administered prior to a course to determine knowledge baseline, but here they are used to test students prior to topical material coverage throughout the course.  While counterintuitive, the pre-tests cover material the student is not expected to know, but serve as a motivational tool and a ‘road map’ for the students, resulting in improved course performance.
