On the other hand, something like <a title=\"Stoplight Feedback\" href=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/2012\/08\/25\/stoplight-feedback\/\">Roberta Slobodian&#8217;s stoplight idea<\/a> is simpler still, and gets the message across very effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Once a standard has been achieved, it isn&#8217;t undone. This is similar to the idea behind how games assess: points can only go up. Your best score on any level is not replaced by an later attempt &#8211; unless of course, you do better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I disagree with refusing to allow student initiated reassessment. I must always allow for the possibility that I may have missed something.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I would leave all the assessments in electronic form and save the paper.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the reason this post has the heading it does:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; display: inline !important; float: none;\">So I just put the most missed standards on subsequent quizzes.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A good idea. Even better: take some time in class to &#8220;re-teach&#8221; those parts where too many students missed things. How many is too many, you ask? Well, that totally depends on what it is. Face it: not all things are of equal importance. Some things are crucial and MUST be understood before going on. In those cases even a small number of students who missed it demands some attention. Other things are less important or &#8216;smaller&#8217; and could perhaps be addressed by simply telling everyone what they need to know directly.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how many teachers (HE included) actually take the time to do this? How many actually build space in their schedule for this?<\/p>\n<p>How should we &#8220;re-teach&#8221; something? There are a myriad of ways, some of which I will talk about in a future post.
