Assessment/Evaluation:

(How I Will Know That You Understandthe Outcomes)

Students will be assessed throughout the course using the attached rubric. Students will be provided with a course assessment summary in order to keep track of their growth as well.

Students will be given the opportunity to improve their rubric rating should they wish to work on certain outcomes to improve their level of mastery.

A score of at least a 2- must be reached on each assessment before the student can continue on in the module.

There is a final assessment in this course. The assessment has been divided into 3 parts. After Module 2, you will write the first assessment. After Module 7, you will write the second assessment. After Module 8, you will write the third assessment. On each of the final assessments you must achieve at least a 2- for each outcome to receive credit for the course.
