List of assessment criteria and tools to evaluate students' performance in the course (E2)
These documents provide an illustration of the key decisions we made about student assessment in our methods courses and of how we tried to communicate them to students in the course. Choose from the following list the document(s) you may be interested in reviewing:
  • Course description (elementary / secondary) (including a first articulation of evaluation criteria for students) -- we have included this document to remind you of the nature and goals of specific assignments, as well as of the course as a whole, and to illustrate how we tried to make the evaluation process explicit from the very beginning.
  • Illustration of more detailed criteria and models provided for key assignments:
  • Models of an "A" and a "B" paper for the mid-term exam -- this document contains two sample of students' papers along with the instructor's written evaluation; these two papers were selected from previous courses to show current students the quality the instructor expected in this assignment, and were made available at the time the mid-term take-home exam was assigned.
