The topic we have been discussing today is quite interesting. At first, we have discussed how to make a rubric for assessment. Mai Anh has shared what she usually does for her little students. She has used Rubistar to create a specific rubric for a specific lesson. I think it's amazing. Then, she has shared some other alternative assessment forms such as peer feedback, porfolios, project-based learning. She also talked about advantages and disadvantages of each kind.
I also find rubric is an effective tool for assessing students. It helps both teachers and students know what should be achieved in each individual classes and how much progress they should make. Rubrics also orient students' learning and enhance their autonomy in learning. I have shared some alternative assessment tools such as formative tests, giving feedback, teaching report, learning diary, project work, ... One of the great things I have learned from the breakout room discussion that we should use different kinds of assessment to utilize their advantages and discourage their drawbacks.
