ABSTRACT
This activity invites students to help write their in-class timed exam. This process alleviates a lot of test anxiety, encourages students to reflect on the learning done in the course, and provides a space to talk about the difference between content and skills. When students show up to the exam, they know exactly what to expect. They sit down and get to work without needing to ask a lot of questions. Much to my surprise, I learned that the average grade on exams did not change despite expecting the grades to be better.
