The terms group and activity are never used. Rather, these activities are called daily quizzes . Each person must complete his or her own quiz, so everyone participates. There are four versions of each quiz, so students cannot simply copy from one another. Students are made aware of this and are encouraged to discuss with one another how to find a solution rather than the solution itself .
Groups form naturally without any effort from the instructors.
During the daily quizzes, the instructors and graduate assistants move about the room working with the various groups that have formed. Finally, the use of web based materials was to be optional during the initial offering of the course. This option allows for differences in student preferences and learning styles. It also gives greater flexibility in scheduling the development of materials. At this point all lectures and quizzes are available on the web.
