Classroom Assessments

Sometimes I think I am a little unorthodox in the way I assess students. I break rules like reviewing a test after it is given. I use this for a learning tool. I do have strict rules about how the test will be reviewed. If the student can prove a answer that I have marked incorrect I will award the points back to the student.

Assessments

Assessments are difficult for me sometimes. I try to find many different ways to address the different types of learners in my classes. I use different methods to assess their learning, not just a multiple choice quiz at the end of the quarter, however, I'm not sure if my multiple choice assessment assess what they are suppose to. Any suggestions?

partial class demos

What does everyone think about doing demos to 5 to 6 students at a time during lab, then moving on to another group instead of giving a demo to all at once?

What are the limits of instructional style

I wonder where the limits of different styles lie. there are som many ways to get the information out. I wonder sometimes how animated you can be and still maintain class control and stay on your message

Learning styles

I find that when I discuse the subject and then show the students what it is I am talking about. Then let them perform the work. And at the end exsplain what they have learned a little more in depth I get really good results.

All Questions

There are some instructors who will not answer any questions after they have gone over it with students. Is there any point to this? Or is just a way to control the class?

Delivering Course Content

I tried today to do what I have learned in this CEE training and it went Great! I would go off topic about every 15 to 20 minutes and would joke around and found everyone was getting involved with the class so it does work. Richard Molloy.

When preparing lecture notes, which of these mathods do you find most effective?

Summary sheets, Note cards, Tranceparies or power point, lecture in 10-15 minute blocks, and how do you decide how much time to budget for questions? Since each class I have is different from the next depending on student knowledge?

attention span

the short attention span of adults makes keeping a schedule for a class difficult. Are there any tips for keeping the lesson long enough for finishing the lecture without stopping every 12 minutes...

testing and retention of information

I feel that testing the level of retention is not the only purpose of the test in it self but the reinforcement of the information as well. it should be used as a way of a final review for students. as they build upon their information bank but some students may exibit overload when it comes to testing the fear of not being prepared by the information given creates anxiety for some. the methode of testing may also reflect the students inability to corilate the information because of this.

keeping student awake and interested

you should use all of the suggestions covered in the material we just covered. which of the methods you use will depend on a lot of different conditions. a few these would be : the weather, class size, subject, expierence of students in subject being covered, ect.
