LLCU 424 Lecture 7: September 20th
Document Summary
The more meticulous you are in specifying details of an assessment procedure, the better off you will be in providing your students with appropriate opportunities to perform well. In all cases, specifications are not the actual test items or tasks, but rather a description of limitations, boundaries, directions, and other details that you will adhere to. Test development if not always a clear, linear process. In reality, test design usually involves a number of loops as you discover problems and shortcomings. The midterm essay is a single test task including a prompt, directions, and evaluation criteria. Student responses are open-ended and evaluation criteria have already been covered well in previous instruction. Write an essay of about three paragraphs on the topic you have chosen. Assume that you are writing this to share with your classmates. Based on the changes and future developments we have read about and discussed in class, invent a possible job of the future.
