Abstract
TThis paper introduces instructors to a practical tool, the Test Assessment Questionnaire, which helps students critically evaluate their course progress after the midterm exam. This tool has two benefits: it guides students toward more self-awareness in their studies and it can be used as a part of assessment and assurance of learning efforts. Additionally, it requires minimal class time to implement and virtually no work burden on the part of the instructor. This tool has been piloted and refined in the principles of economics courses. It is recommended for exams with multiple choice questions, true/false questions, and mathematical problems.
