Course Assessment Websites

http://placement.amatyc.org/
The Placement and Assessment Committee of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges maintains a website that includes assessment examples, links, and other assessment tools for Classroom, Course, and Program Assessment of the first two years of mathematics.  Particular emphasis is given to assessment resources for two-year college mathematics educators.

This website, hosted by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, provides a form for two-year college mathematics educators to submit examples of assessment of student learning outcomes at the Class, Course, and Program levels.  Consider using this form to share your models of good assessment practices.

This website is hosted at Bakersfield College, Bakersfield, CA. The site includes nine (9) sections that range from background and rationale for assessment to distinguishing between course and program assessment.  While the site is generic, it is tailored for two-year college faculty members who have committed to use student learning outcomes assessment to improve courses and programs.  A section on using rubrics to assess student learning may be particularly useful for mathematics programs desiring to write and use rubrics to assess students’ ability to write mathematics and other student learning that lends itself to qualitative assessment.

Hosted at Nassau Community College (NY), this website includes an assessment handbook.  The handbook provides useful examples of assessment models which can be applied to mathematics programs.

This website is hosted at the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and is supported by the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education. A search of the site using the keyword “assessment” yields the url listed below which describes the usefulness of Bloom’s Taxonomy in assessing mathematics courses and programs.

http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/4/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=504&bodyId=728
This website describes ways Bloom’s Taxonomy can be used to assess mathematics and provides links to examples of assessment questions designed to assess desired student learning outcomes.

http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/4/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=504&bodyId=733
At this website you will find specific multiple choice mathematical exercises that have been developed to assess student learning related to a) calculation,  b) graphic representation,  c) algebraic manipulation, and  d) mathematical modeling.  A thorough discussion relates these examples to the desired outcome.

Virginia Community College System hosts this website that describes assessment techniques that respond to the six levels of the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy.  The site also provides verbs for each of the six levels and describes how these verbs are used in formulating student learning outcomes for the levels.

This website, Supporting Assessment in Undergraduate Mathematics, is hosted by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and includes a self-paced online workshop on assessment, case studies of assessment work in two- and four-year colleges, guidelines for assessing student learning, assessment links and answers to 32 frequently asked questions about assessment.
