Alternative and Authentic Assessment

Cynthia, Great post! I am reading a book now called Cheating Lessons by James Lang about the culture of assessment and the impetus to cheat. It really does talk about the different views of cheating. It has been a eye opener already. . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Khal, Good for you! This is my opinion, but. . . . I think we need more math instructors like you. Students have to connect math to their career and/or major. They have to learn to value it and for most students that won't happen unless math instructors like you "connect the dots" for them. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Khal, You are right about multiple choice. They must be written well. Creating a good assessment tool takes time and thought. I don't we always give it the time and effort evaluation deserves. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Sarah, I agree with you. I also like to see students articulate their learning through their words. They seem to make better connection with their experiences and previous learning. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
