Assessment is one of the most important aspects of teaching and yet many teachers do not thoroughly examine their assessment methods. The purpose of this assignment is for you to experience writing an effective standard assessment. Your assignment will be graded with the rubric below.



Student Work:
Alisha Jones- Chapter 3 Biosphere Exam

Laura Zehr - Cell Assessment This exam assesses student's comprehension of material covered in a cell unit. The assessment has multiple choice, matching, a venn diagram, labeling, and short answer questions.


 * Laura Sedivy - Classification Exam**. This exam assesses students on objectives for a classification unit. It is composed of multiple choice questions, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer questions.


 * Jennifer Williams- Cellular Respiration Exam.** This exam assess the students knowledge on concepts covered in a Cellular Respiration unit. The exam is composed of multiple choice, fill in the blank, drawing/labeling, and short answer questions.




 * Taylor Farnetti- DNA and RNA Exam**. This exam assesses students' knowledge on the DNA/RNA unit. This standard assessment/exam includes multiple choice, modified true or false, filling in the blank, matching, and one essay question. These types of questions will help in determining the knowledge the students have obtained from this lesson by incorporating different types of questions for different style of learners.


 * Connor Downs Ecosystems and Communities Chapter Test** - This assessment covers all of the objectives i would of hoped to of completed during the days i had to go over this chapter. it has 4 different types of questions and covers several different levels of blooms taxonomy. The Unit test with the objectives is the format i would like but when i transferred it and made it a blank test the format did not come out the same. But, overall the types of questions and the content i want to portray is all there.




 * Diane Coughlin- Human Genome Assessment**- This test assesses the students knowledge regarding the human genome and different human genetic disorders. It consists of 25 questions which are formatted in four different formats, multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, and short essay, and has a variety of blooms taxonomy format. In addition, there is an answer key which identifies the correct answer, objective the question corresponds too and the blooms taxonomy and the objectives for the unit.

Janelle Czapar - Chapter 10 Cell Growth and Division Assessment
 * Koppers-Cell Structure and Function Unit Assessment-** This assessment contains questions regarding cell structure and function. The lessons within this unit include cell theory, microscopes, cell types and the organelles, as well as diffusion (passive, active, osmosis, facilitated). It consists of short answer, matching, multiple choice, labeling, and short essay questions. The teacher copy includes a list of objectives for the Cell Unit and which assessment questions meet these objectives. The cognitive level per question according to Bloom's Taxonomy is also labeled.


 * Kevin Pavesic- Introduction to Genetics Unit Assessment-** This assessment is for the unit on Introduction to Genetics. It consist of matching, multiple choice, short answer, and an essay question. The questions represent multiple levels of blooms. There is a student copy and a teacher copy which contains objectives and matches each question to an objective and the blooms level while also giving the right answer.



Leslie Garcia- Intro to Cells Unit Assessment- This is for the topics covering the unit of cells and DNA. This consists of multiple choice, short answer, and essay. There is one question for each level of blooms. There is a student and a teacher copy.

 * Julie Massanisso - Chapter 4 Ecosystems and Communities Assessment**

This test covers topics such as history of the cell, cell theory, prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes, eukaryotic cell structure, cell organelles, lipid bilayer structure, and transport across membranes. Attached are two versions of the test. One is a student version and the other is a teacher key. The teacher key also includes the objectives list for the unit.
