The roundtable will be held from 3:30-5 p.m. in 208 Gore Hall.
Presenters Daniel Sullivan, professor of business administration, and Sharon Watson, associate professor of business administration, will introduce the testing effect and its implications for assessment and test anxiety. They will also cover how to mediate the testing effect and prevent cheating by identifying course elements that maximize student performance and learning.
Participants can look forward to a thorough discussion of the elements that lead to test anxiety and poor study habits and how to mitigate these triggers to enhance student performance. The session will give participants specific strategies for rethinking course design and delivery that corresponds to those key elements.
