Some students get so worked up about the test they can’t even get through it (par.3). Even though the article “Standardized Tests” states that “testing is a normal and expected way of assessing what students have learned and the vast majority of students do not exhibit stress and have positive attitudes towards taking a standardized test like the FCAT,” (par.10). J. Lang Wood, author of many short stories and author of“Negative Effects of the FCAT” begs to differ. According to Lang Wood she claims students are exposed to a “climate of continuous stress” (par. 2).
I would need to know if I will be working on a 1:1 basis or with a group so I can plan accordingly. During the lesson I would be constantly monitoring each student that I am working with to ensure participation and understanding in the tasks set. I would be aware of the desired learning outcome and would be asking questions such as “what have you learnt today?” or “can you tell me one thing you now know after the lesson that you didn’t know before?” After the lesson I would discuss with the teacher what progress has been made and the level of the students engaging and what if anything the students have found particularly easy or difficult.

During each seminar, the instructor will be asking students lots of questions from the reading assignments, so there will be many opportunities to answer and to make additional comments or ask questions of your own. Your attendance at the weekly seminar for this course is very important. The seminar is an excellent source of information and explanation of the weekly material in this course. However, if you are unable to attend the seminar, you can still learn the information that was provided and also earn the seminar points.

At some point in each lesson you will be asked to show/explain/review what you have produced so far but your work will not be marked as such until the end of the topic. Each topic has different tasks written specifically for it. These tasks are there to
In the case of emergency or serious situations, official documents (such as doctor notes and a letter from your boss or parents) are required. If you anticipate that you won’t be able to make class on a test day or due date, you are responsible to communicate with the instructor beforehand and make sure to follow-up by email. In ambiguous situations a 20% late deduction may be applied if the student makes an effort to promptly carry out the required work. Class assignments and assessments completed in class cannot be made up if you miss the class. D2L use and email: eLearning (Desire to Learn; D2L) will be the main communication platform for this class.

In Patrick O’Malley’s essay “More Testing, More Learning”, he claims that the only way to improve students’ learning is frequently test. Malley knows that many college professors only use midterms and finals to judging students abilities. As a result, many students feel stressful about the test, and they fail the test.
