unit 5 Reflections
Reflection Unit 5
In this unit we got the opportunity to view and examine the different types of tests that could be developed and designed in order to evaluate a students’ skill. We also assessed the objectives for which that one particular test is made. The teacher is able to develop a test and have the students work and use several skills at the same time. We were able to see that each model and skill has a different value to which the teacher has to be aware of. In designing a test we did not only come up with questions and let the students do as they pleased, we kept track of an answer key along with a scoring record of the maximum amount of points to be obtained.

unit 6 activity 2 Technique of Self-Assessment
We would use Rating:
Raiting scales: Students rate their own performance or progress using rating scale with descriptors.
We think students are familiarized with score numbers. In our point of view, if we give a meaning to each number it is going to be easer and they are going to respond quickly and acurately. For example, 3= excelent, 2= good, 1=need improvement, or other descriptor depending on the evaluation.
