Entry 6 - Assessment

This presentation was done by me and my friend Szaarmila. In my presentation, maybe i should have post questions asking them to give me examples questions on different levels of Bloom's taxanomy. Besides that i should have ask others to give examples of norm assessment and criteria assessment in their field and how will they set in distance learning. Assessment is one thing that all pedagog knows about. To me assessment is the most crucial thing to know in teaching. On the whole, most teachers are still not professional in item analysis in planning an assessment for a student. How about in distance learning? Most assessment is on cognitive domain. Can assessment be done on affective domain?. If there is, how?. One more thing that i wish to know is 'when setting a module, which is better ; is it planning the assessment first or while students are involved than the assessment should be prepared?. In my opinion, , this is important because, a student will look at the course outline first than refer on 'assessment' than they may enrol for the course. There are possiblilities that if they do not have the requirement in the assessment method, they might be lacking confidence in joining the course or they will prepare before hand the project before enrolling. Well i wonder if this happens with distance learners. I should read more and find out on this.
