ACTIVITY 1: OCTOBER 15 DUE DATE

A lot has been said and written about assessment in books and journals but there are still people
or even teachers who have misconceptions about the effective use of assessment in the classroom.
Modern educational assessment is now shifting away from examinations. Twenty-first century
assessments are focused on both the learning process and the assessment outcome. Assessment
tasks are becoming more authentic, collaborative, and focused toward higher - order thinking skills.

Rectify the following misconceptions. Explain in two-three sentences why they are incorrect. ( 10 pts.)
1. Assessment and evaluation are one and the same.
2. Assessment is completed once every grading period
3. Assessment is one-way. Only teachers are involved in assessment.
4. Assessment is ultimately for grading purposes.
5. Student's work should always be given a grade or mark.

ACTIVITY 2:
As a college student, you underwent several assessments in basic education. Recall from your
own personal experience an assessment that you think was truly meaningful to you. Explain why it is
so. (20 pts.)
