Chapter 7 comments
Chapter seven concentrates on an important aspect of teaching that is often underrated. Assessment can make or break a class, especially if the assessments are inaccurate. The tips that the book gave on various types of assessment as well as question types was quite helpful. They underlined the advantages and disadvantages of certain question types and provided tips to make sure our questions would be the best they could be. I liked all of their guidelines and found them very applicable to teaching a foreign language. Much of our assessment is performance based, but especially with the activity, I can also think more outside of the box to make sure I am getting an accurate assessment.

Good point about assessment making or breaking a class. I guess that works on many different levels, poor assessment planning can prove to negatively effect the school, student and teacher. I'm sure that you, like me, will be referencing this chapter in the future to ensure none of the mentioned mistakes are made.
