“The purpose of the quiz is not to shame or embarrass anyone, but to make sure everyone is on the same page.” – Mark GoulstonIn

In the world that we are living in right now, with so much advancement in the technological front, the amount of time that a student can actually concentrate on something apart from smartphones or computers, is on a downward slide. Indian schools are going digital now. The conventional method of quizzing needs to change in order to cater to the wants of the students. Old methods of making students sit in groups, asking them questions and then marking the right or wrong sound like a dream nowadays and the reasons are:

Students are very impatient

Very few students actually find it interesting to sit in one place and wait for the turn to answer. Nowadays, we hear the quizmaster say this line quite often, “Wait for your turn”. This is how impatient students have become.

Students are afraid of making mistakes
