Learning goals
While emphasizing there is no single way to assess student participation, presenter delivers a concise and comprehensive overview of what not to do, activities worth doing, how to do them, and how to evaluate your own process.

- Identify positive and negative criteria you will use to evaluate student participation
- Develop strategies for implementing your assessment plan
- Use appropriate techniques to keep all students involved with and aware of your participation assessment plan

Topics Covered
Too often instructors base participation grades on very vague standards or use these assessments to give grades they somehow think students deserve.
In this compelling and practical session, you’ll learn that effective assessment of participation starts with understanding why you’re evaluating participation in the first place and having a clear description of the behavior you’ll be monitoring.
You’ll explore:
- Making feedback part of the way you grade participation
