Doing some end-of-the-semester reflection regarding my course (algebra-based PHYS I & II, non-majors), and a suggestion was made to incorporate 'pre-tests' next term as a way to quickly flag students that may struggle with 1) algebra and 2) problem-solving, and who would then be recommended to seek additional tutoring.
Has anyone done something like this? Do the students appreciate this, or it is an early dose of fear (i.e. a 'pop quiz' on the first day)? Is it a useful tool?
TIA.
