Effective methods of student assessment

Hi Joseph - Thanks for your post to the forum. I love watching the Food Network channel where they have shows like "Chopped" with young Chefs competing in timed cooking contests! It really does mirror what happens in real restaurant kitchens where stress can be extreme! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Using CATs as sources of instructor and student feedback

Hi Eulalia - CATs are even more effective if they are anonymous. Ask your students to write questions/things they did't quite get, at the end of class or put them in your mailbox - without their names on them. Susan
