Applying classroom assessment techniques in electromagnetics courses

Classroom assessment techniques (CATs) are simple yet powerful learner-centric assessment strategies providing immediate feedback to the instructor about how students are grasping materials in the lectures (T. A. Angelo and K. P. Cross, “Classroom assessment techniques: A handbook for college teachers,” 2nd ed., Jossey-Bass.) While the concept has been around for over 20 years, modern teaching technologies provide unique opportunities to effectively respond to CATs and maximize the learning experience of students.
