Due 12/27
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 readings 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 page numbers (with the names of the writers) and the following in your project :
Introduction

Brief summary of background information (e.g., the nature of the proposed class (including the class size, the course content/objectives, and other related info.), the purpose of the assessment) and/or test specifications (e.g., what kind of test it is, 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 (e.g., questionnaires, tests—with complete info., such as percentage of scoring for each section / item, instructions to the testees—subjects, and instructions to subjects).
Conclusion

Problems you met in the process of your development of the assessment plan and / or test construction.
