Methods of Assessment
Formative (Low-Stakes) Assessments
Formative assessment techniques monitor student learning during the learning process. The feedback gathered is used to identify areas where students are struggling so that instructors can adjust their teaching and students can adjust their studying. These are low-stakes assessments (i.e., they have low point values) that happen early and often in the semester.
INFORMAL TECHNIQUES
Written Reflections. Sometimes referred to as "Minute Papers" or "Muddiest Points," these popular assessment techniques have students reflect immediately following a learning opportunity (e.g., at the end of a class or after completing an out-of-class activity) to answer one or two basic questions like:
“What was the most important thing you learned today?”“What was the most confusing topic today?”“What important question remains unanswered?”
