Brief Description"The instructor presents questions during class along with several possible answers. Individual students chose which answer they think is correct and the instructor makes a quick visual assessment of class results. Students then discuss answers in small groups, after which they together choose and answer again and the instructor makes another assessment and compares results."

  
 Purpose"When used frequently, this technique encourages students to stay focused and attentive during lectures or class activities. In addition, the act of taking the quiz provides both teachers and students with an opportunity to check understanding on the spot and make adjustments accordingly. This technique also presents an opportunity for peer coaching, as students participate in small group discussions in order to determine a consensus answer. Snap Shots is an effective technique in courses that require students to learn and retain substantial foundational knowledge." — Learning Assessment Techniques, Barkley, EF and Major, CH, 2016
