During a session recently, with a group whom I am relatively still new to, I was informed that all students were on top of all work in a specified unit. Well, although these students had been given their theory input on a certain area, only 60% of them actually were confident in their knowledge. Finding this out during my teaching session, by way of a quiz and discussion, allowed me to adapt my lesson plan for that day and ensure all students leaving at four o’clock were on top of all knowledge and ready for their formal written examination the following week.
I have enclosed copies of some informal assessment methods that we are currently using during teaching, as well as evidence of formal methods. References: Radcliff ,C.
