Spotlight on Students: Assessment

[EllieC]

Assessments are great tools for instructors to gauge how well their students are retaining information and then using that information to solve problems. But, how do instructors ensure that their students are prepared for tests and quizzes? While in class–whether online or in-person–instructors can use iClicker to check students’ understanding and comprehension. Instructors receive real-time feedback from students about the material they may still be struggling with and can then adjust to meet their students’ needs. And, test preparation doesn’t end when class does! With Achieve, students can check their own knowledge of class concepts with adaptive quizzing and receive tips and guidance on problems they find challenging. Test, exam, and quiz may be anxiety-inducing words for many students, but with the right preparation tools they don’t have to be.
