摘要：
Instructors often use grade-related contingencies to motivate students to attend and prepare for class. This study compared the influence of infrequent and minimal-weight unannounced quizzes to a cumulative exam on students' self-reported motivation to attend class and regularly keep up with class material. Results indicated that the unannounced quizzes had more influence on self-reported motivation to attend class and study regularly than a cumulative exam. Students rated the use of these quizzes favorably, and there are several benefits for their use in addition to motivating students to better attend and prepare for class.
