Using alternative assessments

Hi Michele - I really like your idea of the application paper! Having students apply what they have learned before they need to do so in the workplace gives them self confidence and also increases their retention of the material. Great work! Susan

Effective assessment methods

Hi Reggie- Thanks for your post to the forum. As you mention, when we evaluate essay question responses we can gauge how well students can apply the concepts we have taught to answer the questions. If they cannot do that, they most likely have not understood the material. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
