Formative assessments are a fundamental component of our educational approach, allowing us to gauge student learning and development in real-time. These ongoing assessments occur throughout the learning process and provide valuable feedback to both educators and students. They are not solely focused on assigning grades but are integral to guiding the learning journey.
Regular quizzes are administered to assess students’ understanding of specific topics covered in class. These quizzes are announced in advance, providing students with ample preparation time.
Periodic projects and research assignments are assigned to encourage students to apply the concepts they have learned in class. These assessments are graded based on the quality of research, presentation, and the depth of understanding demonstrated.
Regular classwork and homework assignments are given to reinforce classroom learning. These assignments are graded and contribute to the overall grade of each student. Assignment submissions have to be timely and late or missed assignments are given a zero.
We evaluate class participation based on students’ engagement in various classroom activities, including discussions, group work, and presentations.
