IV Other

Doug Holdread proposed a student assessment of assessment, explaining what and "where" assessment is and the importance of student feedback. It seeks to determine the efficacy of various assessment modes for "this" course. Doug suggested that it be developed and appended to the student evaluation of instructor each semester. Others suggested that, at least for this year, faculty be encouraged to use the form or a variant so that we can pool our experience and findings, _then_ develop the form for possible appending to student eval instrument. The instrument is available at www.trinidadstate.edu/AISL/references/stuAofA.htm
