Chapter 6: Motivation and Boredom

In the section, Timing is Everything, Bosung talks about when tests should be given. He believes that tests should never be given the week before vacation or the week you return.

So many teachers assign tests right before vacations. I never minded this as long as it was not the last class before break. Yet, I would have hated to have a test right when we got back. I feel as if I was no longer in the school mode and have to work extra hard to remember what we were going over before break.
