Assessing students can be a point of stress for a lot of teachers. There are so many questions to consider. Are my assessments fair? Have they been scaffolded? What format should they be? Is there a golden ratio between formative and summative assessments? Are my rubrics clear? Do my assessments reflect the competencies? 

In this episode we are joined by Professor Heike Neumann, who is here to reflect on this crucial aspect of teaching. Heike is a faculty member in Concordia's Department of Education. Among other classes, she teaches courses on language assessment, testing, evaluation and course design. She is extremely knowledgeable, eloquent, and just a joy to converse with. If you're in for a critical conversation about assessments, then this is the episode for you!
