In my Persistent Issues in Curriculum assignment I talked about the use of tests as the primary indicator of learning. This method is used quite often with our students at PJCC. I talked about how our students are repeatedly tested in order to determine their learning improvements. Also our students who were high school drop outs are tested all the time in order to receive their High School Equivalency.
The biggest solution that I offered was to offer more forms of assessments such as portfolios and performance-based assessments. It's not likely to happen, but I'd love to see a HSE test that asks the student to produce something such as designing an experiment.
