Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I do utilize the minute paper method at the end of the class, the CATs are beneficial and I do like to share with the class and how I intend to use their feedback. Leaves fewer people behind and addresses shortcomings quickly
I learned that active learning means that students can make application of knowledge and skills they have developed.
Assessments are most effective when they are holistic. There are several domains that need to be covered by assessments. A students' critical thinking and thought process and invaluable for their careers, so instructors need to assess for these qualities as well. Ethical reasoning and values also need to be assessed.
Assessments need to be authentic and measure the previous content delivered.
I like the CAT assessment ideas. I think that the ones that ask them what them what they did good or bad may or may not elicit honest answers. I currently use the internship reflection questions with my students.
The CAT assessments seem like they could be useful. I like the idea of doing something similar during the first day of class to see what students think they're going to learn and what they would like to learn.
Research projects that students work on over the course of the semester are excellent tools to develop critical thinking.
I like the significance of incorporating different types of student assessments depending on the learning outcomes and goals of the class.
In order to give students more tools to be successful in carrier growth we should evaluate their level of critical thinking and problem solving in order to adjust the teaching technique and reach those students that my not see the importance in soft skills.
I like the idea of incorporating CATs in most of my classes. I like that they are ungraded so students may be more willing to answer honestly and candidly than they would if they were getting marked.
Having an understanding of the many different ways to evaluate your students, can make them and your class more successful in the learning. Having some of the non-graded activities can help determine, what you might need to reinforce in the class.
I appreciate all the various ways to properly assess students.
I was reminded how effective questioning students can be a healthy strategy in getting them to think more critically.
There are many different ways to assess students, but each person should be evaluated consistently without discrimination.
CATs allow for smaller check ins where the weight of success if less heavy and that there can be room for pivot and improvement before the formal evaluations.
It is important for students to learn and understand "soft skills" so that they are able to be secure in their future positions in any career.
Need to apply different tools to asses students level of understandings.

I have learned how to better assess my student's soft skills. Sometimes this is difficult but having students work out problems as if they are in the workforce will allow me to assess the students.
Honing our communication skills, and modeling that to our students help create a professional environment.
