1st year Physics had their second test of the year today. We had about 20 minutes at the start of class for students to review. The most pertinent thing to review was a problem set that students completed for homework. We did this by “speed dating.” Students first spent 5 minutes checking their answers against a key and indicating their level of confidence on each question. Then, we used a rotation system similar to how speed dating works (at least, similar to what I remember seeing in the movie “Hitch”), where students spend 4 minutes talking with students from other lab groups about specific problems from the problem set.
