Module 5

This module has helped me think about student-centered assessment in the following ways...

Students need to be and do better when they are involved in the assessment process. Student-centered doesn't mean that students "take over" the assessment, rather they are active participants in it, as opposed to being subjected to assessment. Through rubrics, checklists, and the like, students can see how they are progressing through the assessment, and are given opportunity to correct themselves and seek input from the instructor and/or other students along the way. This avoids, I think, meltdowns, cursings, and probably calls from upset parents ("Johnny didn't know he was failing!!!).

I hope.
