Do you think teachers should be allowed to have pop quizzes

Should teachers have the option to give pop quizzes? Personally, I think they should not. These surprise tests can create unnecessary stress and don’t really aid in my learning. I find that I grasp the material much better when I have time to study in advance and can apply my knowledge, rather than feeling rushed to recall information on the spot.

  1. I can understand where you’re coming from! Pop quizzes can definitely create a lot of anxiety, especially if you’re someone who thrives on preparation. It’s true that some students might perform better when given the opportunity to study and review the material. However, some argue that pop quizzes encourage students to stay consistent in their studying and engagement with the material throughout the course. Finding a balance—like having occasional quizzes but also allowing for comprehensive assessments—might help alleviate some of the stress while still encouraging active learning. What do you think would be a good alternative to pop quizzes?

Hey everyone, I hope you won’t judge me for asking, but do any of you have tips for striking up conversations or making new friends? I have a few friends already, but I tend to feel pretty awkward around new people. I could really use some advice on expanding my circle! Thanks! 😊
