Teaching Commons: Designing Assessments & Assignments
October 19th, 2012 - 11:45am
Presented by Steven Quackenbush. It's never too early to think about assessing student learning. As you are planning your course, you will begin by thinking about the learning goals you have for your students. What do you want them to learn in the course? What knowledge will they gain during the course? What skills will they acquire? How will their thinking be different? What will they be able to do? Once you have articulated those goals, the next question you have to ask yourself is, how will I know if they have achieved those goals? How will they know? This is where course assignments and assessments comes in. The Landing, UMF Olsen Student Center. UMF Community Only.
