When trying to close the loop in course revision and improvements, you need multiple sources of review. Don't rely solely on student review or self review, include multiple stakeholders like peers and collegues.
That there are different way to evaluate course work and to use a variety of methods.
I learned that I will need to use various ways of evaluating my students. I like the use of using the portfolio. I remember making my portfolio and referred to it often in my first few years of teaching.
Re-evaluating your course is integral to course success. You must give multiple methods of measuring your courses outcomes.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of my course, I need to look at the totality of the course from syllabus matching to student grades and student evaluation to self and peer evaluation
Using pre and post test in f2f works well for me. I learned that pre and post in this arena may make the class better.
Assessment in key with course improvement and development for teaching as well as learning. I will incorporate peer feedback into my assessments.
Course evaluation is necessary to improve student learning experiences, improve curriculum, focus professional development, impact quality assurance and benchmarking, and impact personnel decisions.
I would like to know more about concept maos.
I have learned the importance of reviewing your own coarse for improvements and the phrase closing the loop.
Multiple forms of evalation show the instructor who has mastered the course.
In my (high school) course we start with a pretest to judge which units will need more or less time to teach. That same pretest is used aa a midterm benchmark, and finally as a posttest that shows us how prepared for state testing the student may be. I am pondering creating pre- and post-tests for each unit. This will help with differentiation as well-- students who have more knowledge can proceed to different projects or activities while those with signifacant gaps can resolve them without it being apparent to their classmates that they needed the extra work.
It will take more than one kind of tool to effectively evaluate a course.
No one tool will allow me to close the loop in evaluating and revising my course.
Multiple ways of evaluating students
Closing the loop requires that output feeds back to change the system's input - thus, the course evaluation via multiple methods provide ideas for strong course revision and improvement that will lead to better student learning.
I think the tools offered here ill be extremely helpful to evaluate student performance.
mutiplw evaluation tools will also help the teacher with their teaching techniques/style
I have used student feedback and personal ideas to review my courses, as well as institutional guidelines. Peer reviews are a method of evaluation U have not used and want to use more in the future
It is important to have multiples evaluations. These will help to improve the students learning experience and to hel[p improve the teaching and assessemnt process.
