Description
Our topic for the Teaching Effectiveness Symposium for 2002 centers on evaluating student performance. The Faculty Development Committee was particularly interested in receiving papers related to assessing student performance in areas that fall within the affective domain.
Evaluating student performance serves several purposes. Obviously, it is a vehicle for assigning grades to students. More importantly, by obtaining a measure of student performance we are able to assess whether we are meeting our objectives, the objectives of the institution, and the objectives of the student. We are better able to judge our own effectiveness as teachers and we are better able to assure the public of our progress in educating those we address.
