Assessment of content and science competencies in science education is one of the most important aspects of scholarly teaching. It is crucial that faculty align their level of teaching with their objectives and that their assessments accurately reflect what they want students to learn. In this webinar we will explore practical methods for aligning assessments and course objectives, as well as explore question structures that are easy to grade yet can assess high-order cognitive skills. We will also discuss how different types of assessments and exam reflections can be used for improving student learning and student attitudes toward assessments.
