Discussion 1:
I have used many different types of assessments in my classes in the past. I would use student self-assessment, portfolio assessment, observational (informal) assessment, and formal assessment such as tests, quizzes and exams. I felt that the more varied your assessment methods, the more reflective of the student’s overall abilities the score at the end would be. Student self-assessments allow students a chance to review their work on their own and judge their performance; it promotes active engagement with their work instead of passive engagement with whatever assessment the teacher gives. Portfolio assessments are good because they allow the student to gather the best work over a period of time and see how they are developing. Observational assessment is good for developing a sense of the student’s skills in an informal way, the student’s participation level, the student’s methods of interaction and communication, etc. Formal assessment is good for measuring the student’s ability to problem solve in a specific way. As Peregoy and Boyle (2013) show, these assessments are effective and helpful in their own ways.
The purpose of education is not just to pass a test or do well on an assessment. Rather, the purpose of education is to grow and develop as a person. It is also important to recognize that learning should be rooted in Christ, as 2 John 1:9 says: “Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” I believe it is important to stress to students that classroom assessments are but tiny reflections of the ultimate assessment that will be given at the end of one’s life, which is the final judgment. This can help reduce some of the stress that students feel about passing a test or performing well under pressure.
While knowing that these assessments are important, they are really not the most important thing in life: the most important thing is abiding in the teaching of the Lord, as John states. Thus, faith-based strategies can be used to assessments more effective by orienting students towards embracing the most important lesson and then aligning everything else within that framework. As students learn to follow the Lord, they will also want to perform to the best of their abilities so that they can shine and use the talents and gifts given them by God to return glory to Him.

The other criteria to be used in the selection of the institutions of higher learning are their length of existence and size. Data collection plans Data is to be collected using questionnaires and triangulation is to be used in the process. This means that both qualitative and quantitative techniques of data collection are to be used in order to increase the chances of getting valid results (Jick, 1979). The following sources of
Management Strategy to Utilize Meta-Analysis Technique for Nuclear Energy and Waste Disposal and Create Social Sustainability This research proposal explores the link between public perceptions of nuclear power, how those perceptions are formed, and what influence those opinions have on energy policy. These issues are important in light of two realities. First, nuclear energy is declining in its share of global energy. Second, nuclear energy offers what might well be

The Gold Coast area has a reputation as a flood prone area, even without considering the effects of global climate change. The Gold Coast area comprises seven major catchment areas including the Tallebudgera, Currumbin, Nerang River, Coomera River, Pimpama River, South Moreton Bay, Sandy Creek and Broadwater area (Mirfenderesk, 2009). The Nerang River catchment is adjacent to the Tallebudgers catchment to the South. It is bordered by the Broadwater and
There are three types of stimuli used, which are: 1) Targets; 2) Irrelevant; and 3) Probes. These are used "in the form of words, pictures, or sounds..." which a computer presents for a second or even a partial second. Incoming stimulus, if it is worth noting, results in a P-300, which is an electrical brain response. The P-300 is part of a MERMER or a memory and encoding related multifaceted electroencephalographic response,
