Evaluation Methods

Here, I am standing directly across from the Sorbonne in Paris during my visit in Aug 2018.  This statue is of Michel de Montaigne, a professor at the Sorbonne in the 16th century, known to be the father of the essay (thanks a lot, you might think).  Rubbing his shoe means to have good luck in exams, and so hundreds, if not thousands, of Sorbonne students pay his statue a visit every time they are going in for an evaluation.  I did this thinking of all my current and future students - you got this!!!

AI is a beast, of course. I am a strong believer in returning to presentations, discussions, and demonstrations of knowledge as the primary means of evaluation, rather than relying on long reports.

​Reports are essential for teaching writing and for composing coherent, well-researched tasks. However, a written report is only as good as the author's understanding of it! And I am flipping the classroom - some studying at home from the textbook, teaching in class, and working on the assignment in groups during the second half of the class on dedicated days.

Exams need to be old-fashioned pen-and-paper, too. As do resumes, but that's for another conversation.
