Although the perception of taking a quiz via paper-and-pencil vs. taking a quiz via a Classroom Response System (CRS) may vary substantially, performance on such quizzes may be less substantiated than originally perceived. In this experiment, we set out to gather data to investigate if such perceptions are true regarding quiz-taking methods. We also were interested in seeing if the time of day (morning vs. afternoon quizzes) had any effect on performance. To evaluate the differences between quiz taking methods and time of day factors, randomly assigned students to sections were created by the registrar's office. A total of 404 college freshman enrolled in an introductory psychology class took part in this study. Data were analyzed to see if the myths commonly believed to affect college student test performance really exists and the results are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
