Great Lesson or Great Assessment

This post is mainly to respond to the question Jeremy raised concerning my fav. alternate assessment. As we pretty much ripped apart every 'great' assessment we knew in class from when we were students...I realized that my great memory of my economics class was most definitly a Great Lesson, rather than a great assessment. To be truthful, I can not recall every task that was completed throughout this project; I simply remember what I learned from it.

    This is an EXCELLENT point!!!

    So many comments I saw in response to the "Fav Alt Assessment" posts were along these lines: "This sounds like a great assessment because you really learned so much!" Yeah, *learning* is the purpose of instruction, not assessments. I'm not saying you can't mix the two, but "learning a lot" does not make something a great assessment.

    Bring this up for me next week.
