  2. What is Assessment?

  3. Formative Assessment Usually at the start Correct errors that can lead to bigger problems

  4. Usually at the end of a block of time. Think Final Exam Summative Assessment

  5. Assessment Test! Really, assessment should be a part of a cycle or feedback loop, where you are always moving from what the students know to what the students are learning.

  6. It has many disguises Daily Quizzes Group Quizzes Discussions Clickers Writing Projects Homework Practice Tests

  7. Daily and Group Quizzes How does this work in the grade book? What if someone doesn’t pull their weight?

  8. Group Discussions Could be online Each person write a sentence in a paragraph Random draw to explain to the class

  9. Clickers Or Voting Questions Does NOT require electronics! There are tons of resources out there – use them!

  10. Writing Assignments Could be short Alone or in a group Explaining is the key

  11. Online Homework Is Your Friend Takes care of the drill problems Immediate feedback Timed quizzes to improve speed

  12. We Don’t Teach Here There are no magic answers!

  13. Review Quizzes In the online homework system Only if we do not have an exam Because of these, rarely do I hear in Calculus “Wait, what is the product rule again?”

  14. Practice Tests Keep Students on Schedule • What is covered this block • How much is covered in the semester

  15. Practice Tests Remind Them of the Major Ideas No need to create a review anymore Sometimes this is a wake up call! Also eliminates the section cheating.

  16. How Fast? - Practice Tests

  17. Your Free Time Will Vanish You will find yourself looking for questions everywhere Don’t re-invent the wheel, use resources! Setting up questions will take time

  18. Your Workload will Increase Writing good questions takes time Grading takes time Lining up assignments Yep, takes time So introduce these things in stages

  19. Students Will Sing Your Praises! Just not to you! Their next teacher will also sing your praises. No promises on how loudly they sing
