Different Types of Assessments

Consider different types of assessments: 

• Consider making your assessment “open book/open note” and design questions that require students to analyze, apply, or synthesize information as opposed to recalling basic facts.
• Consider designing assessments with Canvas Quizzes and a variety of supplemental tools to assist with academic integrity. For example, time limits, shuffling answers, large question banks, not displaying answers, not allowing students to return to the quiz after leaving it, etc.
• Consider redesigning high-stakes, summative exams as papers, projects, or presentations.
• Consider question formats that require personal responses, such as argumentative papers, videos, or brief online presentations.
• Consider replacing high-stakes exams with frequent, lower-stakes assessments, such as concept checks, weekly quizzes, and other cumulative learning assessments.
