Hi everyone,
I wanted to finish this week off with a website that introduces the idea of classroom assessment techniques (CATs). The following website: http://www.ntlf.com/html/lib/bib/assess.htm
contains a nice introduction on what CATs are, when to use them and how they help both the teacher and student. It does give a brief description of some of the smaller and easier CATS to use, including muddy points and minute papers. The site does reference the text by Angelo and Cross. I feel that this site would be helpful to get your feet "wet" in this topic and then you my progress to the larger CATs given in the text.

This is a good summary of classroom assessment techniques (CAT). Since my blog is on increasing student participation (and in particular the use of student response systems), I was very interested in this site. The site gave a clear summary of what are CAT and why to use CAT for faculty and students. I really like the table of various CAT examples. Some of these I have heard of such as minute papers and chain notes, while others were new to me to include the memory matrix. Thanks for sharing this site!
