EPP-APS Effets Pédagogiques
Effets Pédagogiques à Court Terme et à Long Terme des Examens Portant sur le Programme Entier, ou Examens Cumulatifs Maya M. Khanna1[1], Amy S. Badura Brack[1], and Laura L. Finken[1] Abstract In two experiments, we examined the benefits of cumulative and noncumulative finals on students’ short- and long-term course material retention. In Experiment 1, we examined results from course content exams administered immediately after course finals. Course sections including cumulative finals had higher content exam scores than sections with noncumulative finals. In Experiment 2, current and former students completed online versions of content exams up to 18 months after course completion.

Right Brained, Wrong Brained: How Caltech Neuroscience Became a Buzzfeed Quiz
Los Angeles Magazine: Somewhere between art class and algebra, most of us learn—probably after struggling in one area and excelling in the other—which “side” of our brain is dominant. You are either left brained or right brained. (And if you are in doubt, you can turn to any number of online tests to peg your hemispheric tendencies once and for all.) Left brainers are supposed to be analytical, orderly, mathematical, and good with language. Right brainers tend to be more disorganized, creative, artistic, and visual. A test on BuzzFeed informs me that I’m right brained, though as a science writer, my background would suggest that I draw more from the left.
