They get points here and there. I think it incentivizes them more than if you had known points. It's one of those things. Extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation. It's a great debate to have but. Maybe having a little bit a little bit not 50% of their grade, but five. Something really small, I think is enough to get them to pay attention. Oh, this is part of the. Learning process as opposed to thinking. Okay. What is the grade? Oh, it's 50%. This okay. That's all Jeremy D.I need to pay attention to. Right. Start paying attention right before the Viranga P.midterm, because Nothing, right? Yeah. That's the downside. If you make the whole course grade because people will advocate for that, people will say, okay, the grade should be based on demonstrating learning, not activities, right. There's a school of thought that way. Okay. So if you do that, then midterms and the final is the whole grade. Essentially, maybe homework. Then that's when they are going to pay attention to it. Right. So they might pay attention when the homework is you. But they're largely going to be disengaged till midterm one shows up and go, oh, I have to study from interim one, but by that time. It's not one of those classes. You can't do that in physics. You can't just do it three Jeremy D.days Viranga P.before. I've Jeremy D.been there Viranga P.thinking I could do that. Jeremy D.Yeah. You can't do it with. I should have been Viranga P.going to lecture. Yeah. So I think it's one of those things where it's a tricky balance. But to say, look. You have to show up and if it helps here's 5% to help you come

Defining Formative Assessment

A variety of educational taxonomies have been adopted by districts and states nationwide. Examples of widely used taxonomies include but are not limited to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives;23 [ 23] Bloom’s revised Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing;24 [ 24] Marzano and Kendell’s New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives;25 [ 25] and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge Levels.26 [ 26] Using educational taxonomies to facilitate the development and guide the organization of learning objectives can improve content appropriateness, assessment effectiveness, and efficiency in learning and teaching.

How you track student progress can make a difference in their learning and your teaching.

At the very least, the tool should allow for robust formative assessment, and should be capable of giving timely, helpful feedback to learners.
