Methods of Effective Academic Evaluation

A study of formative, placement, diagnostic and summative evaluation. Emphasis is on the development, administration, interpretation and utilization of informal, teacher-made evaluation measures, to include paper-pencil and observation instruments. These measures may be norm-referenced, criterion-referenced or learner-referenced. Additionally, students learn to read and interpret formal assessment data produced by either parametric or nonparametric statistics.
