Reflection

Before taking this class, I felt assessment was one of the weakest part of my teaching.  It was a subject that I didn't know much about, and given the importance of it, this class was one that I was really looking forward to.  I was not disappointed.  There was so much talked about in this class, it's very hard to distill down into a single reflection. 

One of the most helpful assignments was the creation of the assessment activity.  This was a good assignment for me because it contained the complete assignment pipeline, from original objectives, through the end assessment.  This was an especially good assignment for me, because I did it wrong, and it demonstrated exactly where I was having issues, so that I could address them.

There was also reflection for this class that took the form of a question and answer assignment (pdf).
