Course Requirements
C
1. Reaction report – alternative assessment
Each student is required to complete one reaction report. The reaction report will critique two (2) articles on the
topic of alternative assessment (e.g., performance-based assessment, informal tests, portfolio assessment,
ED
curriculum-based assessment, etc.) The articles will be chosen by the student. Articles may be chosen from a variety
of scholarly journals or chapters from books. Papers are to be 4 to 5 pages in length and include:
a) Summary statement about the articles. This would be similar to a one-paragraph abstract found in
most scholarly journals.
M
b) A reaction to the content of the articles. This should focus on your reaction to the articles and the
impact on you and the profession. A more scholarly response of comparing the articles’ content
with that of other expert opinion is perfectly acceptable.
2. Completion of two testing papers. You may choose any commercially published test that might be
appropriate to your present or future professional occupation. This paper includes the following elements:
a) Test selection and evaluation
1. name of test 10. scoring
2. author 11. accessories and interpretation devices
3. publisher 12. reliability
