Rubrics can be very helpful... I like the self-assessment rubric idea...
rubrics are important for students to pregrade as well as to provide grading consistency. Using formative AND summative assessment is extremely important.
Knowledge on formative ve summative assessments, using rubrics and self or peer assessments.
I will utilize providing meaningful instruction and feedback using a rubric.
I understand the importance of feedback. It is not something I am very good at. I will try to focus on providing more and more helpful feedback to my students.
Self-assessment may also be another area of focus. I may try to add more of this to my classes going forward.
Assessment is the vehicle to improved learning and teaching. Criteria of assessment should be clear and concise. The rubric gives us the tool to be specific and detailed in the expectation of a project or an assignment. It also shows the learner specifically where he succeded or came short of the objectives of the lesson.
I thought the section on rubrics was very helpful. It gives the student a clear goal for their learning. The idea of students self-evaluating their work and peer evaluating using a rubric was a great way to have students get involved in feedback. Getting timely feedback from online instructors is my biggest pet-peeve of taking an online course.
Formative assessments are a great tool to help guide a student to success on a summative assessment.
In this module I reviwed the differences between formative and summative assements and how to monitor student progress. I also learned the different levels of assement which can help in the creation of assesments.
Feedback validates the students effort as well as guiding learning and encouraging deeper thought.
I learned of the value for creating rubrics. The grading process becomes transparent, and the students are provided a valuable tool and opportunity for revising and editing to reach success.
I never considered exit tickets as a possible assessment tool prior to this module. I am trying to find a way to implement it in an upcoming course.
Feedback is crucial to letting students know that they met your expectation. Rubrics are an essential tool to help students know what they need to have to get a good grade on an assignment.
feedback is always encourageable formal or informal. Just like praising it opens an excellent line of communication.
I have always used embedded assesment this module clearly shows some of the short comings of this method. thank you
Formative assessment should happen throughout the lesson. Meaningful feedback is important for learners.
A rubric can be built so the student can do their own assessment and then the instructor has the opportunity to do an additional assessment. This allows the student to catch the mistakes they might otherwise not catch.
Feedback is essential because reinforce student's learning.
I think every assignment must have a letter grade. "Okay, Not Bad, Needs Work or Pretty Good gives a student a sense of how they are doing and what to improve on.Detail to why a person got the grade helps their future than a grade alone.
