The Pros and Cons Assessment Analysis prompts you to think through the benefits and challenges of your biggest assessment for the term.Purpose and Goal
Choosing the concluding assessment for a course can be a challenge. Some instructors use a final exam. Some use term papers. Some use portfolios. Others use projects. Whether using an assignment you have used before or considering trying something new, it is a good idea to think through the pros and cons of the assessment to ensure that the information you gather regarding learning is worth the time invested by both you and your students. Completing a pro-con grid can help you see whether the benefits of your assessment outweigh the challenges. In addition, identifying the challenges can help you mitigate them.Activity Link
