  10. ConcepTestDos and Don’ts • BEWARE… • Students may simply change their answer to whatever was most popular. • Don’t let them wait you out either! Never answer your own ConcepTest. Re-visit, re-vote. • SO… • It’s not about getting it right or wrong, it’s about articulating (and hearing) WHY it is right or WHY it is wrong, or WHY a student agrees or does not agree. • STUDENTS must DEFEND their answer. • Mistakes = OPPORTUNITIES for learning BEFORE the test.
