This document summarizes a student's experience with an assessment activity in their class. The class was divided into groups where each student read a different article about assessment. They then took turns explaining their article to the rest of the class. At first the student felt nervous giving their explanation but became more comfortable each time. The student found listening to their classmates helpful despite not having read their articles. Overall, the student felt the activity highlighted the importance of different types of interactions for learning.

I specially liked this week due to the process
we followed to ensure we understood
everything. I believe that, assessment was
one of our main worries but at the same
time, one of the topics that interested me
more.

3. The
met hodol ogyBefore the class, it was compulsory to read an article
about assessment. There were 6 different texts divided
among the class. Mine was about the rubrics.
Important ideas about that text:
The importance of action research
Learning occurs through interaction emerges
Difference between assessment and evaluation
The 5 reasons to asses: formative, summative, informative, diagnostic and evaluative
Difference between assessment and evaluation

4. 2 In class, we were divided in groups of experts. It
means that the four members of my group have read
the same article as me. In this groups we were
supposed to comment the most important aspects
about the article.

Afterwards we had more time to prepare a little
exposition about the article to the others. We were
exposing in c o r n e r s, so we did the
same exposition 3 times.
The first time I felt lost and
really nervous because of the
exposition. The second time I felt
comfortable and confindent. The
third time I felt like I perfectly
knew the article and I have no
problems explaining it.

5. 4
After exposing our article, I listened to three
expositions about assessment. The majority of them
had nothing to do with mine.
Moreover, as it was an interesting topic, It was a
pleasure to listen to my classmates although it was
difficult to follow everything without a previous read of
the article.
Furthermore, we commented if we would recommend
the articles. Most of the answers were yes. No doubts
about it.

concl usi on
On the whole, I would like to highlight
the importance of working through
different types of interaction. For
instance, the learning is the sum of all
the interactions that the teachers set
up for the students.
