In this session, valuable methods for evaluating students were discussed. I learned that first assess if students have grasped key concepts independently, highlighting the importance of self-preparation. Second, observing subsequent classes can help see if the students can apply past learnings without guidance. Third, it is important to gauge engagement, emphasizing not just enthusiasm but also deep concentration and active participation.
Additionally, I intent to use CATs and exams to evaluate the students' ability to apply knowledge and problem-solving skills. These insights will guide my teaching approach. I intend to encourage students to take responsibility for their learning, create an environment where they can apply previous knowledge, and foster engagement in various forms. Finally, using exams as an assessment tool will need planning and deep consideration of structure, ensuring the exams are measuring the students' understanding beyond the immediate classroom knowledge and into the other stages of Bloom's taxonomy.
