Two assessment techniques from this book mentioned in Instructional Strategies:Reflection/Meta-cognition: The Minute Paper" and "Muddiest Point." "They help teachers determine whether students are picking up on important ideas. Teachers get snapshots of where students are struggling so that teachers can adjust instruction--for example, spending more time reviewing a key concept. These strategies also benefit students. Students have to attend to what they have just learned, maybe synthesize concepts from various lectures, and articulate what they know and do not know. Students generally do not take time to think about their thinking, or to try to express their struggles. Therefore, they are unlikely to get to a stage where they can formulate solutions for problems they are having."
