I would like to emphasize the key components of meaningful feedback include the following: connected to learning objectives, frequent, positive in tone, automatic if possible, provided in a variety of ways: written (peer or instructor feedback), auditory, visual. Also to be individualized, specific and detailed.
Using rubrics gives a clear indicator of the work required and how it will be assessed.
I learned the importance of identifying the different types of assessments that exist and providing meaningful feedback.
It is imperative to use the objectives when grading. The rubric can guide the student to include/exclude specific data related to the content
I learned that giving feedback to the students is essential for the learning process.
How important rubrics can be in helping students as they are specific and give students detailed information about expectations.
Feedback is always important to supplement learning however this can come in many forms. Instructors can provide feedback but peers and self-reflection is valuable.
Feedback should be consistent between students, grading based on rubrics, but all feedback should be specific to the student you're speaking with. In addition, you should be open to further clarification and discussion based on your information given and how the student receives it.
none judgmental, succinct, and informative feedback is necessary to build confidence
It was useful hearing about the differences between the various types of assessments and forms of feedback. I also liked the details on how to use rubrics and the suggestions on how to provide feedback. As a result I am likely to switch to providing more than written feedback for some assignments.
When creating assessments, it is important to consider Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. Some questions may require that students demonstrate higher-order thinking to show their understanding of the subject/content.
I thought it was useful to know what information we should be aware of in order to correctly break down a rubric so that it is both easy to understand and helpful to the student.
I love rubrics as they make it easier to be consistent with grading.
Feedback on any assessment is key for student's to understand course content and where they need to focus their learning efforts.
What helps students in being successful and assists them in improving their quality of work is providing feedback. As instructors, it is important that we provide feedback so they can always improve and master their course.
It is important to remember that formative assessments don't just monitor student comprehension; they help instructors know how they should tailor their teaching to help students.
The importance of assessment to understand how well am I teaching
The level of learning objectives was a good reminder. Sometimes I am not sure which one is appropriate to use.
Recently I have begun using video feedback... I don't know if students watch them or not.
Assessment plans are not just for the student; they show where a learning deficit occurred. This will help you see what you did not teach effectively. Formative assessment is crucial to keeping your students and class on target. It will help you and your students better understand whether course progression is on target or if you need to help the student in an area where they feel lost.
