This paper describes how to provide collaborative learning opportunities and fast feedback on exam performance by adding a team component to examinations. The method is supported by research in collaborative and active learning pedagogy and has been applied to computer science courses ranging from first-year programming to graduate-level artificial intelligence. This paper relates the use of team tests in two different university settings, with a range of implementations. Furthermore, it offers suggestions for customizing the technique to fit a specific classroom environment.
