Reviewing for exams: do crossword puzzles help in the success of student learning?
Abstract
The goal of this project was to further our understanding of how students learn. Does reviewing for exams using certain teaching methods actually enhance students' learning of course material? Through a comparative analysis of two sections of the same class, we tested to see if using crossword puzzles as a "fun" review technique actually affects students' exam scores as evidence of successful learning.
