Reflection on Assessment
Assessment is not about the final grade, but the learning experience. I would rather know how to look up information and apply knowledge than to memorize it and forget it ten minutes after any test. Learning is a life-long adventure and I want to know how to adjust and cope during this adventure. I want to have the skills for researching and finding the answer. It is not always that answer which demonstrates learning; it is in the process in which you find the answer that demonstrates learning.
