Project 

In this written project you should develop an assessment plan for assessing a proposed class.  You might want to adopt the concept of alternative assessment and/or design a paper-and-pencil test.  Consult class lectures and the handouts (ˇ§Stages of test constructionˇ¨) for the steps of designing a test.  Your citation, if any, must be in MLA (or APA) format; be careful about plagiarism.  Be sure to include the following in your project:

Introduction
     Brief summary of background information (e.g., the nature of the proposed class, the purpose of the assessment) and/or test specifications (e.g., what kind of test it is to be, abilities to be tested, etc.), and your reason/rationale for your adoption of the assessment method(s).
Design
     The plan is meant for a complete program/course.  Explain carefully and clearly what your assessment plan is, and if there is a test, how you come up with the test, including data collection, pretesting, and/or validation of the test.  Include all information/materials (such as questionnaires, tests, subjects, and instructions to subjects).
Conclusion
     Problems you met in the process of your development of the assessment plan and/or test construction.

     Either MLA or APA format; must be consistant

     Some material from Design may be too long to include in the text of the project.  If there is a test, a copy of your first and final versions of the test must be included.
