Final Project: Due October 2nd

Final Project Guidelines

Based on the study sheet provided, the student will develop a project according to this criteria.

Post any questions in this forum.

Analyzing Quizzes

Look at these quizzes and talk about the different aspects studied in the class. Pay attention to every detail and post in this forum (even your own quiz). Test design, validity, test purpose, criterion, method, constraints, social aspects, reliability, measurement, etc.

Start like this "Quiz 1: the design is appropriate for a level of... because... In terms of validity..."

I know it is a lot of work, so I am waving the essay.

Analyzing Rubrics

Look at this rubric, the instructions and the requirements and tell me:

1. What works.
2. What can be improved.
3. What does not work.


Rubric

Two weeks left!

Dear All:

Thank you for your patience. We have two weeks left, and believe you me that this class has been one of the most interesting to teach (and to learn). We need now to start thinking about your final project. I will give you a sample course sheet and you will create a test for each macro skill, and explain the rubric to use. More on this later.

For this week,

Blog (Wed and Sun)
Quiz analysis on Blog (due Sun)
Essay Reflection on Rubrics (due Sunday)

The First Blog:
Do research online and explain what you understand by "Rubrics", particularly in teaching languages... do not copy-paste, explain. Due Wednesday. We'll take it from there.

Pause to Consider II -Due Sunday

Look at p.250

Pause to Consider -Due Wednesday

This week:


1. Read the material.

2. Post on the Blog.



3. Using the same sample material I sent before in Spanish, create a writing quiz. Take a look at the elements and consider that this sample page is for an elementary level.

ACTFL OPI

There is no quiz scheduled for this week. Please read the content of the ACTFL OPI at the bottom of your Quia page. The recording: I will have someone come to UDB on Thursday at 3PM. As a group, you will record and evaluate this person for about 30 minutes taking into consideration the points established by ACTFL. Then, individually, you will tell me what the level of this person is based on the ACTFL scale. If you have a conflict with this meeting, you need to let me know ASAP -Tuesday the latest- and I will think of something else.
