Assignment

It is hard to give a "competency demo" over the material from a project like this. You have not really learned new material that I am trying to assess whether you have mastered (although you, in fact, may have learned quite a bit more about what it means to design curriculum which is one of the outcomes from earlier).  In that regard, it doesn't really fit a traditional "competency demo"

However, I still need to assess whether you are moving forward with learning for this course and, specifically, for the material about course design. 

To provide that assessment I am asking you to complete four, individually written, deliverables over the duration of this project.  Each will correspond to one of the elements of your team's design document.  Each will give you an opportunity to reflect on the process and your participation in your team's efforts.  Each will follow the common structure outlined below:

1. Provide a 2-3 paragraph review of what you think about your team's deliverable this week when it comes to designing course assessments.
2. What do you feel you learned about designing curriculum from this part of the activity this week?
3. Select the three assessments you think are MOST important as components of this course design. 
• Why are they important in this course.
• What do you particularly like about these assessments [what draws you to these over others]
4. Select the two assessments you think are LEAST important as components in this course design.  What is it that you are TRYING to do with these assessments and why are you struggling with finding something better? 
5. What is one question you still have about designing assessments as part of curriculum design.
