5 5 Assessment methods and/or tools Assessment methods include formative assessment, which will promote learning throughout the course or summative assessments, such as benchmarks, final exams, which document student progress toward meeting standards. These methods include: Homework and periodic checks of student work. Textbook and teacher generated tests and quizzes. Assessments periodically must include formal proofs. A variety of selected responses, which may include, but not limited to multiple-choice, true/false, matching, and short answer fill-in items. Personal communication may include, but limited to, teacher/student conference and interviews, teacher observation, classroom discussions, oral examinations, and journals and logs. Peer activities may be used as an assessment for appropriate topics Essay assessments evaluating student s knowledge, reasoning, and skills. Performance, e.g. student projects, performances, debates, and presentations.
