Assessment

• How will I know if students have achieved the learning objectives of a particular lesson or an entire course?

• What am I willing to accept as evidence that students have achieved the objectives?

17

Selecting Activities and Assessment Methods

• Based on the objective you developed earlier, select the following:– One or more activities aimed at accomplishing

the objective– Methods for assessing the objective

Rubric ActivityDirections for Assignment: • Students were required to solve Problem 5.1 from their

textbook. The students needed to show all their work step-by-step and comply with the problem solving method guidelines described in class by the professor and the textbook. Below is a solution submitted by Student A. Since you have 60 of these problems to grade, you have decided to develop a rubric to make the grading process both more consistent and easier for yourself. Develop your rubric based on the solution, and then apply it to Student A’s solution.
