Making Instruction Relevant

Public

Discussion:

Hi Nora,
You have hit upon a critical point that is the topic of discussion everywhere I go throughout the career college community. Faculty are asking for baseline assessments to determine where to start with their students. By having such their planning is much more productive. In my courses I do the baseline assessments myself since my college doesn't do them. This way I know from the beginning of the course what I can expect in terms of knowledge and skill from my students. This really helps me to be more effective and efficient.
