Visual learning can be an asset in any situation.

I like the comparison to an orchestra in managing the class. I have played in bands and orchestras and I can see the structure at work in putting priorities in order.

I plan to diversify the types of questions used. However, I realize it is important to understand the purpose of each question and not just ask questions that do not measure understanding.

I worry that the result of testing can lead to teaching to the test. How would you avoid that? One way is to vary the types of questions. There again, it is possible to try and find ways to figure out the question rather than focusing on the answer, and testing strategies take over.

Good question. Require students to post their response before they can see other responses.

Active learning is an important part of assessing not only the student's progress but the instructors success.

The correct use of questioning builds the confidence of the students. It helps them realize that they are a part of the process of learning.
