How can I use grades or test scores in the assessment process?
You can use grades in the assessment process as long as you have criteria to inform your grading. Having criteria for your grades or any evaluation method, such as a test score assists you in answering the question of how you know this particular outcome was met. Being able to articulate what the test score means or what the grade means in regards to which outcomes were met and why allows you to identify where the learning occurred and if it did not, you have information to help you improve upon the student learning. Without criteria, it is difficult to judge consistently across your course if students have met a particular outcome.
