Assessment Paradigms

Dan Schwartz, professor of education and leader of the SIG:Assessment explored some pioneering methods for learning what students learn at the first monthly meeting of the SIG on February 4.

"There are times for lectures and readings, but they need to occur when students are prepared to appreciate the insights that they contain," Schwartz noted, and went on to show examples of evaluative methods that assist both learner and teacher.

In attendance were faculty members and researchers from the School of Engineering, School of Medicine, and the School of Education, as well as scientists from SCIL.

This SIG is directed by Daniel Schwartz, Professor, Stanford School of Education. The group meets the first Tuesday of each month at 4:30 PM in Peter Wallenberg Learning Theater, Wallenberg Hall (Building 160 on the Main Quadrangle).
