wk 3 - Assessment Penn State

Assessment from Penn State Learning Design Hub  

Rationale

After writing learning objectives, you should to think about how to assess the students' achievement of the different learning objectives.

1. Different learning objectives define the scope and methods of assessment.
2. Relating different levels of objectives with assessment instruments and all items that are graded will make sure you achieve your specific objectives.
3. Busy students need to know what they must do to achieve in the course: What are the assignments? What are the projects? How will they be graded

Relate different levels of objectives to assessment

What you teach should determine how you need to assess learning. You should tie your objectives with your assessment to achieve the expected results (Dwyer, 1991).
