Come join us, Tom Foster and Val Michael, as we explore some assessment options for your class for the start of the school year. Look at a few standard pretests and how to gauge performance improvement. Sample some Physics Education Research Inspired tasks used for both activities and assessment. Investigate some websites that share assessment materials. Finally, share some of your best practices and techniques. If enough folks sign up we will order in a pizza to stave off the munchies. See you then.
