This seminar will focus on helping faculty improve the assessment strategies that they use in their courses. Both formative and summative approaches will be discussed with an emphasis on developing rubrics that are closely aligned with course outcomes. The seminar aims to suggest ideas for:
- differentiating between formative and summative assessment;
- using formative assessments to improve student learning;
- creating criteria and scales for assessing student performance;
- evaluating student performance more effectively.
