  14. P.T.A.

  15. PTA is a process of taking what we already do -- record grades -- and translating that process into an assessment device. • Advantages: • Uses information that is already available • Brings to consciousness the mostly subconscious processes that go into recording grades • Can be applied at the level of the institution, department, curriculum, course, single class, or classroom assignment. • Doug Eder, SIU, http://www.siue/~deder/assess/cats/pta.htlm

  16. Choose a test or assignment that tests central goals/objectives of the course, program, major. Identify the traits (factors) that will count in the assessment. For each trait, construct a 3 - 5 point scale.
