I've learned from this manual is that new evaluation instruments are needed and they can be measure by achievement outcomes and effectiveness of learning strategies.
From this module, I’ve learned that evaluating student progress is much more than assigning grades—it’s about measuring growth, providing feedback, and guiding learners toward competency. Effective evaluation requires using both formative and summative assessments to capture not just what students know, but how well they can apply it. I also learned that clear, objective criteria and consistent feedback help students understand expectations and take ownership of their learning.
Rubrics create a strong guideline to adhere to for facilitating students learning outcomes.
Assessment should be outcome oriented.
I learned about how the rubric is a great tool for grading
A rubric is an assessment tool that helps both the student and the instructor in setting proper performance expectations
Assessments in my class vary. I try to use written, groups and observing during activities. I also like to ask students after being in groups what they felt of their groups, never showing the others as sometimes we can learn a lot by assessing others,
I learned about the verbs to be used in assessment and that rubrics are a valuable tool in competency-based assessments.
Rubrics help provide clear expectations for outcomes. They are good to use on competency-based assessments.
The grading rubric is a great tool to set the expectation for assignments both for the student and the instructor. It also provide transparency in the assessment process.
Make sure to be transparent when going over the rubric to make sure the students know exactly how they will be evaluated.
Rubrics should be clear on what the student is going to be evaluated on.
Rubrics have helped me a lot in getting the student and myself on the same page for grading expectations on short answers, both for content and grammar.
Rubrics can be used in the lab to assess both completion of the tasks and how well those tasks were carried out.

Rubrics are a valuable tools with lab assessments, also.
I think more student-led feedback within the lab itself might be useful. We have some open-ended postlabs for student reflection etc. but I am wondering if more discussion based feedback would be helpful in the context of lab.
Develop a rubrics to instruct students how they will be graded and what the instructor is looking for
rubic tool is a great way to keep track of learning developments and be able to show students their progress
