Grading
procedures
- Appraisals: informal measurement devices, which are not
formally graded. They consist of a combination of multiple choices, true/false,
fill-in-the-blank, and short answer questions. Some appraisals may be
“hands-on” exercises to give you experience in doing some of the tasks you will
perform in the field. All are designed to give you an idea of how much
information you are retaining and point out areas in which you might be weak.
They also serve the purpose of letting the instructor know how well you
comprehend the material so he or she can make a determination of whether
additional instruction may be necessary.
- Progress
checks: used in the
assessment of student accomplishment of knowledge or performance objectives
during the time allocated for classroom or laboratory instruction. Progress
checks provide immediate feedback to the student and instructor. A progress check may be a written test of
your knowledge, or a performance check of your knowledge of procedures and/or
skills.
- Projects
and Presentation:
used to assessment of student working knowledge and skill set. All students are required to complete a grade
level project for successful completion of this course.
