Under PASL, instructors must include explicit criteria to describe the key elements of students’ learning. But did you know that having meaningful assessment criteria also allows you to see whether students are learning what you want them to?

Looking for support to develop criteria? Join us for this workshop where we invite you to bring an assessment task (paper, presentation, report, exam, etc.) from one of your courses. You will use it as a starting point for developing assessment criteria that promote learning.
