Learning is a Process, Not an Event: Can Modifying Your Assessment Structure Improve Student Learning?
Start Date

Description
Do students stop attending your course before the semester ends? Have you observed students who perform poorly on a single assessment, give up mentally and withdraw from class? Do students use their past work as a learning tool to improve future performance? Kami will report anecdotal and date-based evidence to support the idea that a more mastery-based approach to assessment can improve student attitudes toward assessment, encourage students to learn from their prior errors, and reduce the natural inclination to give up. Find out how to encourage learning as a process, rather than an event for your students.
