I am convinced assessment is the key which opens the door for success.  When effectively used, both formative and summative assessment promotes changes in instruction, changes in learning, and as a result changes in student motivation and success.  Effective assessment is part and parcel with effective instruction.  The closer curriculum, instruction, and assessment are aligned to classroom activities, the greater the mastery of intended outcomes (Holler, Gareis, Martin, Clouser, and Miller (2008).

 

 

 

I agree, assessment is extremely important.

I have been teaching for years and I found the instruction and tips to be very helpful. It gave me additional

insight into the various ways that students learn and how to best reach them. I also picked up some tips

when writing exams. A very informative course.

I will use the many tips I learned when I teach again in September. The Art of Questioning section of this module was very

informative as to how to phrase and create questions with students.
