I am a fan of more frequent testing, but what do folks think about the authors' contortions and post hoc fishing to find that their daily quiz class was comparatively better? If regular testing and retesting is effective, it ought to be easier to show greater comprehension and mastery of the material at the end of the term. If the daily quizzes are short with MC type questions, could students later show their learning on a full exam, with short answer and fill-in questions? I think varied daily testing and retesting would better promote transfer.
