FIAE: Chapter 4

There were three different types of assessment discussed in this chapter which were portfolios, rubrics, and student self assessment. A portfolio is good way to compile a students good work together as a way to see what they have learned. In this way the student gets to choose which works will go into the portfolio, whether it is a high grade or something they are proud of and in this way it is a reflection process for the student. Rubrics were talked about in depth in this chapter, because it is obviously one of the most common ways to assess a students work. A rubric lays down what needs to be done for a certain assignment and what is needed for a certain grade. Rubrics may allow students to focus on a certain level of achievement and not go for the highest one, which I thought to be very true. Last is simply having the student self-assess themselves where a rubric could be create to include both the teachers grade and the students grade for themselves. It may tell a teacher a lot by the grade that a student is willing to give himself.
