Module 4 Activity 8 Assessment Strategy

Although I am aware that the activity did not require a reflection in the blog, I felt the need to make an entry. Using a sound assessment strategy  will no doubt benefit the students as they will be an integral part of the assessment, not only as the assessed but also as assessors.  In this way, the students will have to fully understand the work if they are to assist in the assessment process.  Further, it will make them have some ownership of the process which will enhance learning.

On a more personal note, the module is over, but what was learnt will live on in me as a teacher and as a supervisor of teachers. What we have to be more careful about however, is to ensure that we do  not demotivate our students by missing the 'little' things that they might consider to be important in life. We must ensure that when we assess, we look over everything and make sure that all students are treated fairly in the assessment process.
