We have covered a lot of terrain and discussed a wide range of issues throughout the semester. Therefore, as an opportunity for self assessment (and to give us feedback on the course), we want you to revisit your Assessment Philosophy from Unit 1.
For this assignment you should do the following:
- Revise/rewrite your Assessment Philosophy statement. This might involve fairly minor or quite major revisions. That is completely up to you. At the very least, we expect that you can provide additional citations or connections based on things you’ve read or seen during the semester.
- After the Assessment Philosophy, include a final section where you reflect on the similarities or differences between the Unit 1 version and this final version. If you had changes in your ideas, where did those changes come from? If you did not have changes, is there something that you’re more committed to now than before or something that you can articulate in a slightly different way even though it’s a similar idea to what you thought before?
In this written reflection, #2 can be personal. However, if you’d also like to share publicly, we are also going to create an Optional Discussion Forum where you can share with your classmates any changes or affirmations of what’s in your Assessment Philosophy.
