Cognitive Wrappers

Cognitive wrappers are brief, low-stakes assignments for students to submit after a test. It helps them review the test in the context of their learning and study own habits.

Using a very short survey (online or a single sheet of paper) given to students with paper, assignment or exam feedback (but with no grade!) They consist of four parts:

•  Rationale: This is only to help you improve.

•  Reflection: How did you prepare for this exam?

• Comparison: What kinds of mistakes did you make?

•  Adjustment: How will you prepare differently next time?
