Creating an assessment tool that measures your intended student learning outcomes is critical. You don’t know if you have achieved the learning outcome unless you’ve properly measured it! This 7-week course is intended to help participants learn and develop skills associated with creating and implementing assessments particular to STEM courses. Each week, students will have pre-reading assignments related to the assessment topic and a short assignment to complete prior to attending the weekly synchronous session. Each synchronous session will review aspects of the technique (i.e., development issues, implementation and administration, when best to apply, etc.), provide examples, and give participants the opportunity to work in small groups on developing their own assessments. The last session will be devoted to learning how to use the data from the various assessments to guide instruction.

This course is open for registration from Monday, August 28 through Monday, September 25; register by September 18 for early bird priority. The course is limited to 30 participants
