Overview

  • The semester system allows more frequent evaluation.
  • Formative and summative assessment both have roles.
  • Computer-based testing and open-book exams are growing.

Explanation

  • Rubrics improve transparency.
  • Evaluation should test application and analysis, not only recall.
