Week 5: Overview
In class this week, each of you will present, in 3 minutes or less, one of your major assignments. Before our face-to-face meeting, you'll need to design your assignment, ensuring that it is an 'authentic' assessment and that it rolls up to at least one course objective and at least one program outcome. Also, think back to Week 3 when you identified a stumbling block for a certain type of student in your course. As you design this assignment, consider how certain characteristics of the assignment might provide a way around a common stumbling block in your course.
