many of my students have difficulty taking test.As a result,they get poor grades on their quizzes.They must,therefore,work harder in class to communicate their understanding of the course content to me.In addition,they usually devote great periods of time to writihg term papers and reports in the hope that these assignments will raise their averages.Finally, many offer to do extra assignments in an effort to raise their grades.The effects of doing poorly on even one quiz can be stressful to most students.
