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.
Feedback is so important for students in their learning journey online. You must communicate what you think about their response or assignment submitted for a student to truley understand what is expected for next time they submit something.
I learned that providing meaningful feedback supplements and reinforces the learning process.
I like the idea of anonymous feedback between students. This will allow students to learn and realize ways they may improve their personal project through reviewing others as well as provide constructive criticisms to their peers. It may be a bit more difficult in a small class setting such as typical CADD classes as anonimity may be difficult, but still useful.
We as teachers need to make sure to do assessments for the students to help them learn. Giving them a few questions or topics to have a conversation about and not grade them can help show what they are learing. Also Giving the student feedback , positive or negitive , can help the student learn. Need to make sure the negitive feedback is given in a way that the student wont take it as offensive.
