What are your thoughts on teachers giving pop quizzes? Personally, I don’t think they should. They often lead to unnecessary stress and don’t really enhance my understanding of the material.

For many students, having time to review and prepare can lead to a deeper comprehension of the material. However, some argue that pop quizzes can encourage regular studying and help reinforce knowledge. Perhaps a balanced approach could work, where occasional quizzes are planned but not overly frequent, allowing for both spontaneous recall and opportunities for preparation. What do you think about that idea?
