Then, one ormore students respond to the formative assessment (second block), for example, by answeringthe instructor’s question or by asking their own question. And finally, the instructor evaluates thestudent response and makes their own response (third block). This response may be brief (e.g.confirming that a student’s answer is correct) or more involved (e.g. discussing why a student’sanswer is correct), and it may change the course

Two observers were assignedeach subject’s reflection, coding independently. The observers identified evidence of criticalincidents within the individual person’s transition, noting details about the incident (e.g., causeand effects) and any questions they may have about the incident or its effects.
