This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:
Evaluating Student Learning in Online Courses --> Objective and Subjective Assessment
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Subjective and objective are both important but there is always information students must know without a subjective slant.
I learnt about the Norm-referenced assessments and how they are used to compare a student's skills to skills of others within a particular group. They are most appropriate when the instructor wants to make comparisons across a large number of students.
Los distintos tipos de evaluación. La importancia de la confiabilidad y la validez.
Difference between subjective and objective assessment is subjective assessment evaluates the personal judgment, opinions, and interpretations of an evaluator rather than factual, and objective assessment is utilizing standardized criteria and task with single correct answers or a fixed score.
rubric are good for both students and teachers
Comment on Deborah Lewis's post: I agree. When a student knows what is expected from them they can be successful.
Rubrics support students understanding of the grading criteria and expectations
I learned about subjective and objective information.
Objective assessment is a generic term referring to tests where there are clearly right and wrong answers.
Students must be informed as to the scoring method. The student should also be provided with the standards for passing, so using a rubric is great.
Rubrics are a great tool so students have an outline of specific criteria and performance levels for an assignment.
Norm-reference versus criterion-referenced... this will probably be on the final exam.
La importancia de la implementación de los dos tipos de evaluación, teniendo presente la necesidad de una rubrica
Subjective assessments are going to be more labor intensive, but the using a rubric would help mitigate that fact. I didn't know that was another use of a rubric.
Subjective grading takes time. A well-developed rubric for subjective assignments is helpful.
I will look at both reliability and validity when determining whether my exams are meeting the objectives and outcome requirements of the course, specifically the validity, which will let me know if the questions did what I intended them to do.
This module referenced different forms of assessments.
Reliability and validity are both important when creating assessments. They are both important when I am making informed decisions based on my studetns assessment outcomes.
I like the idea of assessing through the essay. This will give the instructor an understanding of how in depth a study understands verses memorizes
