Exit tickets can be used as a quick formative assessment to give instructors an idea of how well students understood the material covered in a specific class.
HOW TO USE
Ask students to quickly respond (preferably in one minute, no more than five minutes) to a question you ask. Choose how you want them to submit their answers (examples: via an online chat, on a sticky note that they stick to the door on their way out of class, on a sheet of paper they place on your desk, etc.)
TYPES OF QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK STUDENTS TO ANSWER FOR AN EXIT TICKET
- If you were creating a quiz about today’s lesson, what two questions would you include?
- What specific part of today’s class would you like me to recap in our next class meeting?
- How does something you learned in class today connect with a fact you already knew?
- If a classmate asked you what he or she missed in class today, what would you say was the most important concept covered?
