Quiz No. 1: Paperless Anxiety

                 

There are two significant things the quiz had showed me.

            The quiz reminded me that keywords are important. Even if the question is long, if one knows the right words, a student will not be confused.

            It is important to pay attention to the basics. For instance, before going to the topic of assessment 2, it is necessary to go back and recall what you have learned in assessment 1. They can determine if a student is ready to go on with a higher level of knowledge. It was good to revive what we know in order for us to understand the new lesson more clearly.

           The basics include the four common terms in assessment which are the assessment, evaluation, measurement and test. Measures of central tendency and measures of variability were also included. The measures of central tendency are a number that can represent a set of numerical data while the measures of variability show the dispersion or differences of individual scores. The numbers there can be described as negatively skewed, positively skewed or normal depending on the distribution of scores.

            As a future teacher, those concepts are very important for handling a class in an effective manner. I can use the assessment as a way to improve what aspect is lacking and utilize more what aspect is necessary.
