The Teaching Support Centre presents Assessment Series - Fall 2012

The Teaching Support Centre is offering the Assessment Series - a collection of workshops that address a range of assessment issues. All faculty are welcome to register at https://www.lib.uwo.ca/tsc/calendar/view_program.php?id=479

The first two sessions in the Assessment Series this fall will be:

1) What you need to know about assessing your students' learning but were afraid to ask.
In this session, we will discuss the fundamentals of assessment; those topics that are necessary to address in order to create effective examinations and assignments. We will discuss why you assess, what your goals should be with a particular assessment, how your assessments should align with your objectives and teaching; all necessary questions to answer to effectively assess students learning (and submit grades that you can be confident reflect that learning). We will also collect your questions about assessment and answer them.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Teaching Support Centre, Room 121, Weldon Library Facilitated by Dr. Mike Atkinson, Faculty Associate, Teaching Support Centre and Dr. Ken N. Meadows, Educational Researcher, Teaching and Learning Services

2) Writing Multiple-Choice Questions.
Writing good multiple-choice items is an art -- and it takes time. In this session, we will look at the basics of test construction and spend some time actually writing items.
