Abstract
The author has used frequent testing in all of his undergraduate classes for about twenty years. The version of frequent testing described here involves students facing a potential quiz almost every class; the quiz is on material covered in the previous class or an earlier class. Â In this paper, a low-cost method of frequent testing is described. Â The description includes details of things that resulted in the process being low cost. Â Also, some things that were expected to be low cost, but turned out to be high cost, are pointed out. Â Low cost is defined as two hours of the instructor's time per section per week.
