Share a Check for Understanding with Students – TEKS Resource System Support

Checks for Understanding (CFUs) can be shared with students via a web link. Students access the Check for Understanding anonymously. Please note this feature is intended as a formative method of assessment to help drive instruction and is not meant as a means for collecting grades for individual students. CFUs can be administered throughout the course of a unit, used as an "Exit Slip", or given as a unit pre-test to gauge students' prior knowledge.
