FLIT 150: COURSE ASSESSMENT
The purpose of assessment is NOT to review the professor or to do a 'course evaluation'. Those tasks are carried out by other means at other times (the 'Course Evaluation'). The purpose of this effort is to find out how well each student learned, in other words, how well you achieved the
goals of the course. In assessment, we are interested in:
- the various tools we used to learn: did they work? how well did each work?
- the various methods we used in handling the tools: did they work? how well?
- what can be done to improve the learning process?
Using the email system, please
write the professor a note (Put the words FLIT 150 ASSESS in your subject line), answering each of the following questions as best you can. This is NOT an optional assignment. An email answer is expected from each and every person registered in the course.
- 1. What is your academic level? (Fresh / Soph / Jun / Sen / Grad / ExtLearning / Other)?
