| Teaching Methods | Flipped learning will be used as the main teaching strategy. However, course lecture, direct instruction, and group work and discussions will be used. Students will discuss in their groups about the theory, practices, and techniques of educational measurement and evaluation. In the classroom, they will actively engage in designing and constructing different test items and interpreting the well-known assessment instruments. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Homework and Projects | Assignments: Throughout the course you will be given three assignments posted during the course hours. Each assignment will be graded over 50 points, and the primary intent of the assignments for you is to assess your on-going learning and to guide your own learning efforts. A rubric for assessment will be provided for each assignment. Exams: There will be a midterm exam with problems similar to those found in the in-class activities. Term Project (DERSDEM): You are expected to make a research or develop a practical tool that the educators can benefit by using the concepts you learned in this course. (More details will be given about the project during the course | ||||||||||||||||||
