Different Methods of Testing by https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion As we all know, test taking is a good method to check students understanding. Tests only check to see what students have memorized so what other ways could we check for understanding as teaching professionals? en-us 2018-01-26 17:50:35 UTC 2025-05-01 15:24:16 UTC hello@padlet.com d00314298 https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion/wish/225451020 I think it's important to know how your students learn best before you test them. There are lots of different ways to test based on the way they learn best.

One that I saw that might be helpful is an oral assessment where you pull the students aside one by one and test their knowledge orally.

This will impact the way they are able to focus to take a test.

Every student should be able to understand what they are learning in a way that is best for them.]]> 2018-01-29 00:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion/wish/225458859 Parents being in k_cook2313 https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion/wish/225465093 2018-01-29 01:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion/wish/225465093 Assessments https://padlet.com/d00354065/Discussion/wish/225492932 I like the idea of putting more weight on formative assessments than summative assessments because you don't have the extra stress of a test but are still checking for understanding on a regular basis.
