CATS can help you make mid-semester tweaks to your teaching and course material that are student-centered and have a proven record of leading to better learning outcomes for students – as well as happier students 😊 \nIn this session\, we will review techniques outlined by Angelo and Cross in their classic text “Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teachers”. A document outlining the “Top 50 CATS” will be distributed to participants. \n  \nSession learning objectives: \n\nDiscuss the motive and intent behind administering CATS during a course (and before the end of the semester)\nList at least five different CATS and how to use them effectively\nDiscuss which CATS would be applicable to your specific teaching situation and how it might improve your teaching URL:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/event/cats-classroom-assessment-techniques/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Assessment,Faculty Support,Productivity,Teaching ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/cute-grey-cat-with-glasses2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201020T130000 DTSTAMP:20261031T200549 CREATED:20201021T191707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201022T051505Z UID:24577-1603195200-1603198800@devcetl.westernu.edu SUMMARY:Qualtrics for Research and Program Evaluation DESCRIPTION:Qualtrics is a powerful online survey tool that allows you to build surveys\, distribute surveys\, create reports\, and analyze responses.

Writing questions is a rich learning experience. \nThe session is a micro-learning approach to the process of student-driven test items. We will consider an idea to increase student involvement in learning and self-evaluation\, minimize cheating\, decrease exam stress\, and make learning and testing experiences more meaningful. We will share ideas for how to incorporate student question writing into lesson planning and test construction. \nPlease be prepared to share your experiences with the group if you have utilized question writing as a teaching or exam strategy. We’d love to hear how it went! \n  URL:https://devcetl.westernu.edu/event/write-questions-for-the-right-answer/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Assessment,Faculty Support,Student Learning,Teaching ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200505T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200505T130000 DTSTAMP:20261031T200549 CREATED:20200430T224918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200512T170638Z UID:23317-1588680000-1588683600@devcetl.westernu.edu SUMMARY:Magna 20 Minute Mentor: Are group exams a viable testing option?
