Week 3: Assessment Genre

Many times teachers are given a type of assessment genre that is used across all grades to assess student understanding. Sometimes the assessments are a good showcase of what students know, other times they fall short. The assessment genre that I chose to take a closer look at was the End of Unit Math Assessments. These assessments are easily given as multiple choice tests that require very little transfer of knowledge. Many times students pass the test and then promptly forget what they have learned. Below you will find the link to my critical analysis of this assessment genre and my proposed solution for a more effective assessment.
