Len did not pass the first quarter of chemistry and was in danger of failing the second quarter. At this time, Nancy was using the multiple-choice "pullout tests" that accompanied the textbook to assess her students' understanding of chemical concepts. However, during the second quarter, she decided that too many of her students were failing her class and showing a lack of motivation toward learning the concepts. She decided that her students needed an opportunity to view and appreciate chemistry as a lifelong learning experience, and she began to think that maybe her teaching strategies did not match the way her students were assessed. She wanted to make chemistry enjoyable for her students, and at the same time she wanted them to understand the basic concepts. What should Nancy do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The usual multiple-choice test is a good way to assess students, but should not be the only form of assessment. Not all students are good paper test takers and especially in a tough topic like chemistry, students need for lessons and assessments to be memorable. Not in the form of note card memorization, but in the form of finding ways to relate chemistry to something that will click in the student's mind and bring the information to the forefront.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that the most ideal way to continue to test students would be a diverse form of assessment. As well as making th elesson relatable or familiar with student interests/lives. Rated On: November 16, 2022 4:20 am Rated By: Triston Williams
