Quiz night review session – A fun way to increase engagement and enhance learning in large classes

Abstract

Exam time is a stressful experience for university students, particularly for those in first year who may be yet to master revision strategies. For several groups of students including non-school leavers and those with limited science background this time is especially difficult as they have not had many opportunities to develop this skill.With this in mind we have attempted to produce a revision activity that is appealing to students from a variety of backgrounds, engages students in a fun and novel way, is relevant, non-compulsory and non-threatening.
