In my  experience, It will help.  I used to ask my students to reviews on what they had been taught during the last week.  Frequent Q&A sessions and quizzes will help students to learn their topics of study.  Combining these two methods will then be  useful for them during their studies.

Dear,

I agree with you all.

I suppose it would..i have never tried this

When students are required to write a "reviewer", think this can improve their quiz & subsequent exam performance.  Reason being inside the "reviewer" indicates what key points / summary s/he has learned.  Going through a student's "reviewer", the teacher / lecturer knows what / how much the student knows / know wrongly etc. so that the teacher can remind / clarify / correct the misconceptions etc. to improve his or her quiz / exam performance.

Think asking the students to compare & contrast the quiz / exam results with the "reviewer" s/he had done also can help him or her to identify which areas s/he is weak on, missed out or misunderstood etc. for further improvement.

Hello, Professor Rosal;

As a student in psychology, I do believe that writing reviews does enhance ones ability to produce better test scores.  I have found that when I research a topic and write a review on that topic, that my test scores remain consistently high.  It really does not ever hurt the student to do a bit of research and review on the topic one is being tested on.  Thank you. :)

In my experience, reviews enhance students understanding and performance. There students show how well understand his/her own work and pay attention on her/his weakness. Though it help to improve perfomance 

Thank you very much for all your responses. I am planning to require my students to write reviewers before exams and requiring them to follow a certain format to ensure that they will do the task. Your responses had helped me decide to pursue with my plan.
