Get Your Students Hired
beautiful and interestinf modules.
value-added, alternative, and authentic assessment are all new to me and I am super excited to see how I can implement them in our curriculum. I also enjoyed learning about the course evaluation steps and I think they are very applicable even in on campus courses.
In this module, I have learned that Student evaluations are an essential source of information on how well a course is designed to meet its outcomes/objectives, and can lead to course revision. The four levels of evaluation to move toward course revision include: reactions, learning, transfer, and results.
In this module I reviewed about alternative and authentic assessment, and about the importance of rubrics for a beter learning experience.
There are several forms of value-added assessments. Instructors should consider their implementation based on the goals of the course and student needs. I'm a big believer in the use of rubrics. I am constantly revising them as I gather more and more data about student performance on specific tasks.
Value added is valuable to imporve studwnt learning by improving upon their individual levels of intellect
I have learned that the authentic assessment would be the most important for me to integrate into my classes. Authentic assessment can demonstrate the appropriate skills and knowledge needed in Nursing. They need to know how to apply their knowledge in real world situations. Value assessments are also important to integraet into the lessons. Rubrics are so important in setting the standards for students to follow for their educational purposes. Use of a rubric gives students the tools they need to know what is being asked of them so that they may apply themselves in the best way possible.
This module was ripe with new information. The value-added assessment was intriguing and I can see how it would be useful to a large variety of students.
Regardless of how much time and effort are spent on preparing a course, it not until you deploy the course and work through the content, delivery, and technology that issues arise. There is always room for improvement, even in the most thoughtfully developed courses. Feedback provided by students can provide a framework of revision necessary for course improvement. All course components should be examined to make the course a better one the next time it is offered.
This is one of the most important comments of the class. I work for a college that we have limtited access to the Master Shell. So when there is a "problem" that needs fixed or something that needs tweaked we have to keep a list and then have access the next semester. By then, I forget.
Student evaluations are an essential component to assess how well a course is designed.
A good rubric, I find hard to build for some courses. Once created, it is a great tool. I have found i get a better product if I let a peer review and make suggestions
A crucial part of course evaluation is understanding how students learn and what way you can reach them best.
The value of a rubric for instructing a student is great. Rubrics can help the student self-evaluate, as well as, helop the instructor know what areas the student may be weak in. There are several different ways to engage with the student ans help them learn.
We tend to think of grades as a way to evaluate students. One thing this unit hit home with was that the process of assessing, evaluating, and grading all lend insight to the effectiveness of the teacher and the course. I like the idea of adding value to the product we offer students.

Providing a rubric is essential and needed not only as a guide for grading but it provides the students with the guidelines needed for a student to growth.
Rubios allow students to use the rubric to answer their course work. They know what's required for their homework because they can read what they need to include in order to receive credit for answering that questio. it's a guide to getting a good or great grade. The students knows what the instructor is looking for.
