Type of Institution Determines Testing
Many of the classes I teach are self-paced and timed. The students must demonstrate a skill using a computer program, and they must do it within a set time - typically the length of the class. It is hard to vary the testing except at major milestones such as the middle or end of the term. Because of the nature of the class, even then it is difficult to present more than multiple choice, true/false, matching. There is probably some room for creativity here, which is something I plan to work on.
Hi Greg - Thanks for your post to the forum. Looking for creative assessment ideas would be excellent. Perhaps assigning something that they would need to do on the job in their career field?
Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
