"Getting Prepared for Online Assessment" Workshop Series

It is uncertain whether face-to-face exams will be allowed in this Term.  Our fellow teachers may want to look into various options for the upcoming assessment arrangement. 

 

CLEAR and ITSC conducted three workshops in February to present the diversified options for online assessment, from the non-proctored open-book exams to the proctored ones. 

 

In addition to the slides and recordings of the three workshops, you may wish to look at the updated guides and tips on non-invigilated examination, online examination, and invigilated online examination before finalizing the assessment arrangement of your course in this Term.

Early Feedback Collection System (2021-22 Term 2)

• Early Feedback Collection System is designed to capture student feedback on individual classes in the middle of the study term to complement the end-of-term Course and Teaching Evaluation (CTE) exercise.  Students will be asked to provide feedback on the following two questions regarding satisfaction with the courses:

           (a)  What are the best aspects of the course so far?
           (b)  Which aspects are most in need of improvement so far?

• The system will be opened for teachers to review the reports from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm during the period from 1 to 7 March 2022. 
• You are invited to review the reports and, where appropriate, to follow up on any feedback for your course(s).
