Get Your Students Hired
Feedback is always important to supplement learning however this can come in many forms. Instructors can provide feedback but peers and self-reflection is valuable.
Feedback should be consistent between students, grading based on rubrics, but all feedback should be specific to the student you're speaking with. In addition, you should be open to further clarification and discussion based on your information given and how the student receives it.
It was useful hearing about the differences between the various types of assessments and forms of feedback. I also liked the details on how to use rubrics and the suggestions on how to provide feedback. As a result I am likely to switch to providing more than written feedback for some assignments.
When creating assessments, it is important to consider Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. Some questions may require that students demonstrate higher-order thinking to show their understanding of the subject/content.
I thought it was useful to know what information we should be aware of in order to correctly break down a rubric so that it is both easy to understand and helpful to the student.
Feedback on any assessment is key for student's to understand course content and where they need to focus their learning efforts.
What helps students in being successful and assists them in improving their quality of work is providing feedback. As instructors, it is important that we provide feedback so they can always improve and master their course.
It is important to remember that formative assessments don't just monitor student comprehension; they help instructors know how they should tailor their teaching to help students.
The level of learning objectives was a good reminder. Sometimes I am not sure which one is appropriate to use.
Recently I have begun using video feedback... I don't know if students watch them or not.
Assessment plans are not just for the student; they show where a learning deficit occurred. This will help you see what you did not teach effectively. Formative assessment is crucial to keeping your students and class on target. It will help you and your students better understand whether course progression is on target or if you need to help the student in an area where they feel lost.
Feedback is extremely important in order for the student to know how to better themselves. I will be more consistent doing this.
I learned that it is important for students to have a clear understanding of the rubric and learning objectives. There should be both formative and summative assessments used by students and instructors. Feedback is important and should be individualized and meaningful. However, instructors can also provide too much feedback.
I believe that this was a very important and helpful module for improving the grading process overall. Key Take-Away: Assessment is the vehicle to improved learning and teaching. Also: Formative assessments are provided within and throughout the course and are not designed to be graded. Summative assessments are provided at the end of a lesson, unit, or course and are designed to be graded. So, balancing both of these types of assessments is a very important process. Rubrics are also very important and helpful. Rubrics streamline the grading process while providing meaningful feedback and promoting learning. All of the details learned in this module will help to improve learning overall.
Meaningful feedback was what stood out the most. I now greatly understand the reason for a rubric. A rubric is helpful when wanting to give visual feedback on a student's work. Students have a visual on the expectations for a project. I can use a rubric to help students visually see what the standard is for writing their LRS papers. This will help me grade their paper in a fair way and give them feedback on why they obtain a certain grade
For our weekly course discussion which I grade according to a rubric, I will be more aware of pointing out the rubric requirements and how it will impact their grade for the assignment.
