You Know What You Taught, But What Did They Learn?

You know what you taught, but you probably won’t know what they learned until the test. Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) are relatively short, in-class exercises that allow both students and instructors an opportunity to self-assess and self-adjust between tests. CATs can provide faculty with valuable data that can help them assess how effective specific learning activities are so they can adjust how they are teaching more quickly and responsively. CATs can also help students become more responsible learners. Participants will learn how to identify the key characteristics that define an effective CAT and will learn how to create their own CATs.
