Assessment Schema Review & Analysis
One of the most important areas of teaching is assessment of student learning: how one develops an evaluation schema within a course and the quality of feedback that is given to students through informal means such as office hours and e-mail. CTE staff provide faculty with support for developing and revising evaluating schema either through individualized consultation or through materials on our website. We also offer workshops on assessment on a department or college level that can be arranged by contacting David Way (dgw2_at_cornell.edu).
Assessing Student Learning Materials
The Test Construction Manual (pdf) will be very useful to help you write discriminating test questions, avoid common mistakes in multiple-choice and true-false questions, construct and grade essay questions and plan an exam.
The Assessment Resources (pdf) is a bibliography of helpful materials on effective ways of assessing student learning.
