Assessment and Student Feedback
Assessment is about goal-setting, inquiry, and data gathering in order to answer the fundamental question: How, and how well, are my students learning? In this hub you’ll find resources to help you plan and design student assessments, utilize technology and strategies for exams, grading and inclusive assessment, and mechanisms for giving student feedback as well as for gathering feedback on your own teaching.

Opportunities
Ungrading Teaching Circle
This teaching circle will focus on reading about and unpacking the student learning-centered concept of ungrading. The group will investigate and evaluate different approaches and brainstorm together possibilities for our own classes.
Mid-Semester Teaching Feedback
A Mid-Semester Teaching Feedback session is an assessment technique conducted at the midpoint of the semester. This technique allows faculty to gather feedback from students on aspects of a course that are new or changed from the previous semester, course activities such as class time, homework, projects, lab work, use of technology, and a lot more. The resulting feedback then allows faculty to implement changes in the remainder of the semester based on student comments.

CNDLS offers a range of assessment and analytics services in support of learning at Georgetown.
