progressing towardsexpectations. In addition, interpretations of student achievement could then be linked to the kindsof learning experiences that do or do not promote desired outcomes. Interpreting students’performance or achievement over time and sharing assessment results with students enablesstudents to understand their strengths and weaknesses and to reflect on how they need to improveover the course of their remaining studies. Assessing student learning at the end of a program orcourse of study known as summative assessment provides information about patterns of studentachievement, but without programmatic opportunity to improve achievement of assessedstudents, and without student opportunity to reflect on how to improve and demonstrate

The next phase in the design process is to establish specifications for theequipment to be used in the proposed system. Once the students had a better understanding ofcloning chambers and the way they operate, the basic engineering phase was more of atraditional set of calculations, closer to their engineering concepts. The following items werespecified:Material selection. Plywood with proper finish can be moisture and UV resistant as well asreflect light, which are all important aspects to the system. Plywood with mortise and tenonwould eliminate the need for any extra framing. This would reduce material cost and weight.The

That means most of the 8th semester students were able to state explicitlytheir premises, for which sources of evidence (personal, written, etc.) were unimpeachable andaccepted as fact.

Itheld the reader’s (evaluators) attention. Relevant details were present that enriched their writing.Final remarks
