Keeping the assessment simple also keeps the grading time short.In terms of grading time, there are some “tricks” that can be used to keep it to a minimum,especially in large classes. For example, if an instructor is teaching multiple sections of the samecourse, they may choose to give a free-writing exercise, such as that illustrated in Figure 1, toone section of students prior to when the concepts have been covered in class. In this case, theexercise could be given prior to the formal presentation of the concepts of impulse andmomentum. Then, the second section of students could be given the same free-writing exerciseafter the formal presentation of these concepts. In both cases, the
