Assessments are key to student learning and instructor performance.
The different ideas for assessments and how students progress through them was insightful.
I have used exit polls after class through an electronic system to keep tabs on what students thought about the day. There were some interesting examples here of how I could provide more specific prompts, rather than the very general way I have done this in the past.
I like the different ways of engaging students. I like to use the who wants to be a millionair game in class. I let them phone a friend or poll the audience on a lab assignment or question i may ask. I am gonna incorporate the formative assements of entry and exit slip. I feel this would be a great way to stay on track with the class onjectives and to monitore everyones knowledge and retainment.
I have used summative assessments through scenario based projects. Designing backwards is a good way to stay on track and intentional.
Engagement is important, understanding the stackability of the program is important for learning.
I think it is important to understand the different ways of engaging students; especially using social media now during a time of quarantine. I appreciated the review of the importance of formative assessments, as well as the Table of Specification example for summative assessment.
I plan to use the summative and formative assessments in class next year. Also I would like to incorporate the chart showning the differences between certficates, liscensing and etc.
