Assessing Student Learning and Teaching

In addition to preparing for a course and thinking through classroom activity, teachers also need to know the various forms of assessment and how they fit into the course objectives and course content. In this section, you will find guides that explain the differences between Formative and Summative Assessment, a guide for Grading Rubrics, and advice for effective student feedback and instructor self-assessment.
