Popis:	A variable frequently overlooked in assessing alternative teaching methods is students' previous exposure to an instructor's testing methods. The present study tested the hypothesis that test performance would be significantly higher among students in a single instructor lecture approach, where all tests were prepared by the same instructor, as compared to the team-teaching approach, where each test was prepared by a different instructor. Results indicated that prior test exposure to a single instructor's tests does have the effect of improving students' test performance on objective type tests, perhaps due to reduced test-taking anxiety, because the students have an opportunity to become accustomed to the instructor's style of testing.
