Description: In many college classrooms, assessment comes in the form of traditional tests and papers. Assessment provides the basis for making judgments on the grades assigned to students. The question arises whether or not tests and papers are a complete measure of what students know and can do. This webinar will focus on other ways to assess student learning that is learner-centered where students can effectively demonstrate what they’ve learned.
