Test Creation and Assessment
The Center for Teaching Excellence presents a Seminar by Jennifer Blue, Marianne Cotugno and Beth Dietz.
We will begin this workshop by exploring the question: Why test? From there, attendees will have the opportunity to learn and practice strategies for designing "tests" that assess student learning outcomes. Attendees will receive resources that will help them construct tests and evaluation rubrics. This workshop will be interactive, and attendees are encouraged to bring a test they've used in the past as well as the student learning outcomes for a course they teach.
