Consider alternative testing methods and ways for students to demonstrate course mastery.
- Consider alternative testing methods and ways for students to demonstrate course mastery.
- Many students need additional time or a low-distraction environment for exams/quizzes. In-class assessments, such as quizzes or graded clicker questions are not conducive to this.

- See also “Consider assessments other than in-class timed exams for all students.”
