Module 5 Reflection

This module has helped me think about student centered assessment in the following ways..

I have never really involved students in the assessment process other than allowing them to exchange papers and check each other's work that only for practice and not an actual grade. I have also utilized partners in reading to time the readings and mark the errors. However, those activities are very simplified. This module helped me think about the benefits of including the students in the assessment process and assisting them in becoming self-directed learners and encourage higher order thinking. After going through this module, I think that student centered assessment is not a bad idea.

Module 4 Reflection

When I first opened the Week 7 folder in Module 4, I was scared out of my wits after reading the warning. I was really stressing over the idea of creating a student sample. Originally, I was going to create a brochure for my student sample, but I could not get the formatting correct. It seemed as if each time  I typed something, the other part would move. I soon got frustrated and that is how I decided to do a PowerPoint.
The Excel videos took me back to my undergraduate days when I first learned how to use Excel. I was glad for the refresher course because I had forgotten many of the things that were discussed. I do not use Excel although it could be a great asset to me at work. I am really glad to be finished with Module 4 and I cannot wait to see what Module 5 is all about.
