In the spring of2008, we designed and administered a survey to all of the NETI participants in the 1993–2006offerings whose contact information we could find. The survey—hereafter referred to as theNETI Alumni Survey—is shown in Appendix B. It asks the participants about their teachingpractices, their students’ and their own ratings of their teaching, the effects of the NETI on boththeir practices and their ratings, their involvement in educational research and instructionaldevelopment, and several demographic questions

hinderthe development of teacher-student rapport. Additionally, many instructors in engineering disciplines find that their students can oftenmove through a problem satisfactorily, but are unable to articulate the conceptual understandingof material that is just as important as solving problems. The review quizzes described in thispaper are designed to treat this problem by emphasizing concepts through the quizzesthemselves, and then helping students reinforce their understanding of concepts throughconsistent quizzing. The two hypotheses that will be addressed are a) does frequent quizzingincrease student conceptual understanding of the material, and b) does frequent quizzing hurtclass morale and student motivation?
