Valuing Student Learning: What’s your Assessment Model/Theory?


It is undeniable that effective forms of assessment help improve the learning process by keeping the student and the teacher on the same track.

As an English instructor, I find assessment to be effective in the forms of journal writing or surveys I post on Discussion Board in Blackboard for semester-long student feedback. Periodically, I toss students an e-mail to ask if everything is okay.

I assign my students homework with each reading. For easier articles they have to write the thesis and the supporting argumentation for that thesis. For harder articles they answer directed questions. This ensures students read and have some understanding of the material before they come to class. This creates more fruitful and in-depth discussions during class.
