I found value added assessment very interesting and useful.
Found this interesting: Rubrics can restrict the students' creativity as they may feel they need to complete the assignment strictly to the rubric criteria instead of taking the initiative to explore.
Rubrics make tough assignments easier to understand for students and easier for instructor to evaluate more equally
I learned more of what I wasn't getting regarding rubrics.
I learned the importance of rubrics adn the evaluation of a course to implement changes to it.
Authentcative and Alternitive assements are vauable tools. Rubric help students know how they will be graded, which gives them a path to achieve the required grade. Assmintes of the on line course can help develop the course, make changes which can improve the course next time it is taught.
Value added assements, gives something to strive for. Rubics/grades/standings/ helps guide what is expected.
Value added assessment has instructors working to reach all students in the learning process. Having a variety of teaching strategies allows you to meet student's needs no matter the ability level.
If I am understanding this correctly, it is a way to not so much measure their retention and memorization, but rather progress along the scale of understanding the material.
With us moving from the classroom to on-line we will need assessments to adapt to this new environment.
Rubrics provide a measuring tool for the students but it may limit the students creativity. Value added measures improvement. Rubrics help me when graading assignments.
I learned more about the design of a rubric; it was interesting to note that the number of performance levels should be even, 4 or 6. The basis for that made sense and I intend to apply this theory.
Value-added assessment should be shared with colleagues.
This module is highly informational in all aspects of online teaching, students' centered learning and evaluation, It is also highly valuable for course revisions by way of students and teachers evaluating methids.

Rubrics can help students formulate answers which are on task with course objectives. This leads to better grades, better retention of knowledge and better future application of skills.
The value to assesment and how it is related to sudent growth.
Rubrics let the students know exactly what points they need to focus on in the project.
I should use a variety of types of assessment to make choices on content.
Rubrics can be a great way to provide specific feedback to students on a variety topics where they are being assessed. The key to using a rubic though is that students understand the rubic and how it is being used.
I didn't realize course evaluations were so important. I can't figure out why we don't make them more mandatory for HS students. I would enjoy this.
