My thoughts on classroom education
• Students must be engaged in the classroom
• Students must think during class• There is more to lecture than just
consuming information• There are many different goals
during lecture• Dependency on type of material and
type of student• I want lots of interaction in the class• I want many different students to
participate

Methodology for lecture design
• Identify overall goal of lecture• What impact to you want it to have on the
student• Divide the lecture into content units
– 10-15 minutes, 3-5 slides• For each content unit
– Describe goal– How would it be assessed– Optionally, create an activity– Put together the slides

Seven basic assumptions of Classroom Assessment
1. The quality of student learning is directly, although not exclusively, related to the quality of teaching. Therefore, one of the most promising ways to improve learning is to improve teaching.
2. To improve their effectiveness, teachers need first to make their goals and objectives explicit and then to get specific, comprehensible feedback on the extent to which they are achieving those goals and objectives.

Seven basic assumptions of Classroom Assessment
3. To improve their learning, students need to receive appropriate and focused feedback early and often; they also need to learn how to assess their own learning.
4. The type of assessment most likely to improve teaching and learning is that conducted by faculty to answer questions they themselves have formulated in response to issues or problems in their own teaching

Seven basic assumptions of Classroom Assessment
5. Systematic inquiry and intellectual challenge are powerful sources of motivation, growth and renewal for college teachers, and Classroom Assessment can provide such challenge.
6. Classroom Assessment does not require specialized training; it can be carried out by dedicated teachers from all disciplines.
7. By collaborating with colleagues and actively involving students in Classroom Assessment efforts, faculty (and students) enhance learning and personal satisfaction.
