Assessing Student Learning

Description

Assessing student learning can be done in every class session, and can range from clicker questions to weekly quizzes to major projects.

The links below are designed to help you expand your repertoire of assessment tools. They are listed in order of increasing time commitment, from reading our online resources to semester-long, for-credit courses.

If you don't find what you are looking for, there is a contact link later in the page. You are also welcome to contact one of our faculty developers to discuss your teaching ideas, concerns, or questions. We are happy to work with you via email, phone, or Zoom.
