Evaluating student learning topic of faculty teaching forum Oct. 24

Caitlin Corning (History) will present “Beyond the Pop Quiz: Evaluating Student Learning” at a faculty teaching forum scheduled from noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, in the Executive Dining Room on the Newberg campus.

Studies have shown that students learn best when continually assessed, not just tested with a midterm or final exam. This session will discuss different techniques and assignments to evaluate student comprehension and encourage learning.

Those who have not reserved a lunch through Student Life – email Jere Witherspoon by 4 pm on Monday, October 22 – should bring their own. Everyone is welcome to attend the session, whether bringing a lunch or reserving a lunch. All faculty — full time, part time, and adjunct — are invited to attend faculty teaching forums. Video podcasts of the sessions will be available at the “Events and Resources” link on the Center for Teaching and Learning website.
