Subjectivity, Assessment, and Treasure Troves
Weeks, Linda Ann
Assessment Update, v16 n2 p14-16 Mar-Apr 2004
In this article, the author shares how she used a video on animals to teach her graduate classes about subjectivity in assessment. For this video assessment, she made her students evaluate the video based on five categories: content, structure, sensitivity to audience, audio, and visual. As a teacher, she knows how impossible it is to be totally objective in any assessment endeavor. However, after the activity, she realizes how delightfully divergent and high-level students' thinking can be when they are left to their own devices.
