Reflection on Timed Writing

I don't think that I am good at timed writing, and I also don't like it. However, as a teaching skill, it is useful.
Strengths:
Timed writing exercise:
• Makes students concentrate to their work.
• Contributes to classroom management, and it can make students calm down.
• Improves the students’ communication skills.
Weaknesses:
Timed writing exercise:
• Isn’t exactly related to Math teaching.
• Causes unnecessary pressure on students’ study because getting ideas in very short time sometimes makes people frustrated.
• Students might feel boring about this exercise, and it is not an active activity which is really needed in math class.
