[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she were better organized, she could give more notice.  2 days is generally enough, but sometimes people are busy and need to plan a bit more. [/quote]

Sometimes students actually just spend more time panicking when given more than 2 days notice. This is especially true of the students with anxiety it seems. They get the study guide a week ahead, think to themselves, "But we haven't learned these last three things yet." and make themselves sick with worry. Then the parents start emailing, "How is Larla supposed to study for a test on x, y, and z when she says you haven't talked about them at all in class." Then, you have to explain that you are teaching x on Tues, y on Wed, z on Thurs, and the test is next Mon, so you are reviewing everything on Fri. Nope, better to just make a course policy that there is a two day notice for tests. That's all my school requires and we have designated testing days for each subject so students know in advance which day of the week anyway. [/quote]
