Welcome
to ROUNDS! This weekly e-newsletter goes out to
all OU-COM and CORE personnel.
Those of you who were
OU-COMers prior to 2004 will recall the previous print versions of ROUNDS, the
internal publication that covered a variety of news, announcements and just
about anything happening in the college or our CORE system.
I encourage you to send
me your news/announcements each week by Wednesday by 3 p.m., which will make up
the following week’s ROUNDS. If you have any questions or suggestions, and I
imagine you might, please contact me, 3-0896 or sanders@oucom.ohiou.edu. The ROUNDS
archive is here.

CATs
— The Classroom Assessment Techniques
(Angelo and Cross, 1993) are succinct,
self-contained, self-instructional, web-based modules that introduce a broadly
applicable technique that serves to help you make your class more
learner-centered and provide formative feedback on how well you’re teaching and
how well they’re learning. Each CAT has been written by a college or university
instructor who currently uses the technique and has been reviewed by the FLAG
(Field Tested Learning Assessment Guide)
editorial board for accuracy and consistency with current
professional standards of assessment. In most cases, the technique has an
extensive history of research to support claims of reliability and validity. The
CATs are linked to a set of discipline-specific “tools” that can be downloaded
for immediate use. <http://www.flaguide.org/goals/goals.php>
