MED 603 Assessment in Secondary Mathematics (3 credits)

This course is a practical guide to designing a variety of assessment tools. Students will learn how to design projects, group activities, writing activities, portfolios and tests that together can be used to assess what students know and can do. The role of assessment is twofold: to assess what students have learned, and to modify our teaching strategies to enhance student learning. Students will be concerned with the curriculum of the secondary mathematics program, grades 7-12.
