One of the things we do here in our course is to give the students a knowledge test pretty close to the end of the course...this test pretty much covers everything we have gone over in class and is designed just like a standard ASE style test. It is very benificial to see that usually almost everyone in the class is able to pass this test and really reinforces how far the students have come with their knowledge in the class...I also ask the class how many think they could have passed this test before taking the class and very few if any will ever raise their hands.
