Additional Outside the Box Assessment Techniques

Facilitators: Dr. Carolien Annink, Dr. Angela Lanier, Phil Bonner

A note about setting up these type of assessments: be clear for yourself on what you are trying to assess when you design the assignment and determine how you will grade or respond to the assessment before you write it.

If possible, try it out yourself first so you can provide an example of what you are looking for—and give yourself a sense of what students need to do to create the assignment.
