Assessment & Grading
This week, Philip Summers takes us through the labyrinth that holds types of assessments and grading processes - those we use too much and many we underuse. We attempt to address the questions: “What are the most effective means to assess in various situations?” and “What methods fail to accomplish what we’re after?”
To be honest, we had to give in on some - just for a practical stance, but that doesn’t mean one way is the only way there is much to consider!
