I learned that ruberics can enhance student's performance.
Taking assessment beyond the objective by the development of alternative assessment and value-added assessment, as well as all the others in this course, has the benefit of clarifying course material, providing more student engagement, and assuring more real-world application outcomes. The sky is not the limit although -- there is only so much time to develop resources. However, over time improvement can occur.
Helpful topic! I am also going to revise my assignments and rubrics to include "exceeds expectations" . Some students do it automatically and deserve the 100% grade on assigfnments.... others meet the criteria but minimally... I want to be able to reward those excellend students and creating a rubric to support that would be one way that is clear to everyone!
Value added assessments are a more accurate student assessment and providing a rubric will help the student know what the course expectations are.
When students receive rubrics beforehand, they understand how they will be evaluated and can prepare accordingly. Developing a grid and making it available as a tool for students' use will provide the scaffolding necessary to improve the quality of their work and increase their knowledge.
I was reminded of the correct terminology regarding different types of assessments. The value of variety. Also, the importanve of rubrics. As well as, class evaluation through studnet input.
I learned about value added assessments and how to use them. Also the additional information on using rubics was very informative.
The process of assessment is a dynamic one. By using feedback and analyzing the data, instructors can formulate tools that best measures student learning.
Rubrics are necessary for guidance and the success of students.
I found value added assessment very interesting and useful.
Found this interesting: Rubrics can restrict the students' creativity as they may feel they need to complete the assignment strictly to the rubric criteria instead of taking the initiative to explore.
Rubrics make tough assignments easier to understand for students and easier for instructor to evaluate more equally
I learned more of what I wasn't getting regarding rubrics.
I learned the importance of rubrics adn the evaluation of a course to implement changes to it.
Authentcative and Alternitive assements are vauable tools. Rubric help students know how they will be graded, which gives them a path to achieve the required grade. Assmintes of the on line course can help develop the course, make changes which can improve the course next time it is taught.
Value added assements, gives something to strive for. Rubics/grades/standings/ helps guide what is expected.
Value added assessment has instructors working to reach all students in the learning process. Having a variety of teaching strategies allows you to meet student's needs no matter the ability level.
If I am understanding this correctly, it is a way to not so much measure their retention and memorization, but rather progress along the scale of understanding the material.
With us moving from the classroom to on-line we will need assessments to adapt to this new environment.
Rubrics provide a measuring tool for the students but it may limit the students creativity. Value added measures improvement. Rubrics help me when graading assignments.
