Surfing the Web and I ran into the above article by Dr. Michael Martinez. My mind is a little "blurry" from looking at the screen for so long but I think this article is saying what I tell my students.
Failure is your best teacher!
Screw up on the homework and you will not screw up on the exam!
I let them redo their homework till they get 100% on the homework. (most do not take advantage of this)
I never give them the correct answer.
They have to figure out where they went wrong.
I felt a bit guilty. I thought that I was being easy but now I feel great knowing that there is a method to my madness.
