After reading chapter 3, 4 and 5 from Carey (2014) I feel like I can do better for the new school year. One recommendation that I would suggest to the administrators in school is to create a schedule of days where the students can take pop quizzes based on the material learned and material that will come after that day, and make those quizzes cumulative.
