I hope that I can remember all the uses for the different types of test. I know tests are a critical part of assessment, but trying to remember which is the best one to create or use may prove to be difficult for me.

I have found here that we assess the students every day, but not always do we use the formative method. I think that if I start using this I will achieve better results from the students for two reasons. 1: If they are lacking, they will want to increase their understanding and not fall behind. 2: if they are doing well they will have more confidence to do even better.

I myself have never been good at forming questions to pose to others to help them find the answers within themselves. I think after this module, and some practice, i might be able to do this.

I believe that in order to teach objectively to all students, you have to be honest with yourself about your own learning style first. As humans we will usually seek out the easiest method of doing something. If we don't learn and understand what our own style of learning is, then we will usually only teach in that style to the students. By learning the different styles, and our own, then we can re-adjust the way we present the information to all students. So that more will comprehend the information at hand.
