I learned the differenced between norm and objective asseesments and different types of both assessments.
I do appreciate a reliable and valid tool of assessment in my classes. Constant student feedback can help develop and update assessments from semester to semester.
Very interesting section on assessmemts and the difference between subjective and objective assessments.
This is important: Instead of simply marking questions right or wrong with no feedback, it is imperative that feedback be a consistent part of any assessment including objective assessment.
Rubrics are a must to grade equally.
I learned the different types of evaluation for my students and how to use them for different criterias of evaluation
Criterion-referenced assessments can be used to gauge how a student came to a specific conclusion. This along with essay can help instors know if the student knows the process of coming up with a correct answer and measures thier understanding of the subject.
utilization of essay and performance evaluations rather than MCQs
Subjective and objective assesments are different. Subjective is what I portray onto my class, objective is what is really going on.
I learned that there are 3 steps that need to be followed: describe, indicate, and compare. I also realized there are several ways to grade assingments.
Objective assessments are have clearly defined right or wrong answer. Always make sure the question is specific to the content. Also, give feedback on correct answers not just wrong answers. Subjective assessments are evaluated by giving an opinion, like an essay question.
No matter what type of assessment, if it isn't accurately representing real world application of the material or a realistic understanding of the material, then it is pointless and needs to be redone. It must also, of course, be geared towards their current level of understanding. I like to use practical applications whenever possible for the assessments.
As an instructor I need to verify the validity of assessments, I have seen quizzes from the book publisher that were wrong.
I prefer objective forms of assessment. It provides the students with instant feedback. Subjective type questions can be used for discussion pirposes too.
I have used both objective and subjective assessments in the past. It is critical to establish rubrics for subjective assessments. In most courses, both serve a function.
You should take into account Bloom's Taxonomy when constructing assessments.
This Module taught me the difference between various assessments as well as the difference of objective and subjective assessments in order to improve student learning and the actual teaching process and hoe to enhance it by making the correct modifications if needed.
Objective tests should be given feedback even if they are automatically graded. This allows students to know why the answer was wrong. This feedback could be given orally or written. I usually go over all tests after they are closed for this reason.
Using subjective means giving an opinon.
