I have a lot of group work.  I like the idea of creating a rubric for group participation, giving it to students ahead of time and using it to score their participation and work in the group.

I would like to use portfolios with my students.  They complete so many projects in auto collision.  It would be great to have them take pictures of all the projects. They could keep a portfolio of the pictures and scored rubrics to show their growth throughout the course.

Providing students with a rubric prior to beginning a project or task allows the student to know what is expected of them.

Authentic assessment can be hard to create but they give the instructure a more complete understanding of the students knowledge and understanding of a concept and ability to complete a task.

Introduce myself and tell a little about my background and career path.  Then have the class introduce themselves and share something about their goals and reason for entering nursing.  Have them put their names on a card and make a tent so I can learn their names more easily.

Be prepared.  Know material.  Go over syllabus in detail outlining objectives.  Get there early.  Get to know your students and pronounce their names correctly.

I was shocked to reflect on questions I ask in my classroom to find I often use close ended questions to attempt to facilitate a discussion. I'm looking forward to expanding my questioning and using a greater percentage of open ended/comprehensive questions next semester. 

Technical, Professional, and Personal.  But don't get too involved.  Lead by example and always be professional.

Ther are a number of different type of tests. Depending on what type of knowledge you are trying to test for will determine what test type you use. Multiple choice questions will give you a larger range of answers and subjects but allows for more guessing. Where essays will give you more problem and critical thinking answers. True/false can give student some trouble. 

This section discusses different ways to evaluate student. Choosing the best way to evaluate your students will determine what you may need to do to alter your teaching style.
