EDUC 450: Reflection – What assessment issues interest/concern you?

• Corrections – when allowing students to do corrections, to what extent should we reward them with marks? (Quizzes vs. Tests)
• Besides quizzes and tests, how can we assess student math understanding?
• When allowing students to work in groups, how can we best account for each students participation in the work or attempt to understand concepts?
• Do students better respond to general marking (0, 25, 50, 75, 100) or should we continue to support traditional marking schemes that they are more familiar, and therefore more comfortable with? (These methods may also be used in other subject areas.)
• Reusing tests – is it acceptable for a teacher to use the same unit test, midterm, or final from year to year, or would it not be better practice to adapt testing to each classes response to material, to what was focused that year?
• Teachers seem to keep old tests and do not allow students to review them.
