Student assessment
Consider different the learning styles and needs in your class when designing assessments. Within reasonable limits you may be able to have a variety of assignments that enable students to use their strengths. Some of your students may have learning disabilities that require instructional and assessment accommodations. Formative assessments serve the tri-fold purpose of allowing students to demonstrate mastery of the learning goals, ensuring that students are making progress toward the greater course goal, and evaluating the effectiveness of your lessons.
Assessing the student's ability to apply what is learned in lecture is critical for a Healthcare student. Proving understanding and building on certain techniques allows instructors to gage where each individual student stands in knowledge and comprehension of the material being taught. Great tool for instructors!
Every student is different so I try to be reasonable about different learning styles and techniques.
