Using alternative assessments

Hi Mike - Thanks for your post to the forum. As you mention, sometimes by asking students to explain what they don't understand can be very eye-opening. It can become apparent that not only do they not undersatnd the immediate concept or skill, but clearly also don't understand the underlying concepts. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
