How can you get a sense of how students are understanding the material you are presenting? This workshop will explore short, informal activities often called Classroom Assessment Techniques (or CATs) that engage students and help you assess what they are understanding and where they might still be struggling. Some examples include minute papers, clearest/muddiest point, and the 3-2-1 technique.

This workshop is part of the Course Design and Feedback series for GW instructors looking for support both in developing innovative, engaging courses and in meaningfully applying feedback after the course ends.

This workshop is part of the Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies series for GW instructors seeking strategies to increase student engagement and communicate with learners in new ways. Workshops in this series are sponsored by the Instructional Core. The Instructional Core provides comprehensive, integrated solutions for instructors in search of teaching solutions.
