! AbstractHomework accomplishes little or nothing. The few student who do complete it benefit but theoverwhelming majority copy (incorrectly often) their classmates’ efforts and think they can buildup a cushion to pass the course. There is a better way – announced quizzes. That is, suggestsome problems that demonstrate the principles taught in the course then give 10-15 minutequizzes frequently (about thirty (30) times a semester) with increasing point value every week.If the quizzes exactly mirror the “suggested problems” the instructor and the student have a goodmeasure of learning and mastery of the subject material.The task and the joy of teaching is to transfer knowledge from the teacher to the student. At itsbest this transfer involves a knowledgeable
