The first sheet shows outcomesestablished for a particular course and how their achievements are measured by several means. Italso shows the “mapping” of the course outcome data into the achievement of outcomes thathave been established for an entire program. The second spreadsheet

Formative Assessment: An Illustrative Example Using “Alice” Ashlyn Hutchinsona, Barbara Moskala, Wanda Dannb, Stephen Cooperc Colorado School of Minesa/ Ithaca Collegeb/ Saint Joseph’s UniversitycAbstractThere are two primary phases of assessment: formative and summative. The formative phase ofassessment focuses upon improving the study’s design, methodologies and evaluations as thestudy is being implemented. Summative assessment, on the other hand, is used to evaluate theoverall effectiveness of the research intervention. The appropriateness of the conclusions that aredrawn during the summative phase is partially dependent on the formative phase. Difficultiesthat arise with respect to data collection

One tenet of this “Criterion-Based Grading” system is that the basis forgrading is known to the students, allowing them to evaluate their own work before submitting it.Beyond making such self-evaluation possible, we wish to actively encourage it.
