Assessment and Evaluation

The Learning & Teaching Office has gathered a variety of resources and reports to assist faculty and students in enhancing their classroom learning environment.

We hope this page will provide you with some general classroom strategies.

• Creating Effective Assessment: When students aren’t engaged with class material, don’t understand the connection between course content and assignments, or feel they are being treated unfairly, they act out in a number of ways, from classroom incivility, to plagiarism (Sorcinelli, 2003). Effective assignment design will not only help students learn, but will decrease academic dishonesty and student dissatisfaction.
  
• Marking Student Work: Reviewing student work and providing effective and meaningful feedback can be an overwhelming task. The following document provides tips and strategies for quickly providing consistent, helpful feedback.
  
• Promoting Academic Integrity: The Office of Academic Integrity has prepared a Frequently Asked Questions document as well as two helpful pamphlets filled with best practices aimed specifically at Ryerson faculty.
