PROJECT WORK: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT
Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with their learning in more concrete ways. Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic. You can use projects as part of the ongoing learning process or as a capstone assessment in place of a traditional final exam.
Project-based assessment is often a component of project-based learning (PBL), in which the entire focus of a course or unit is to teach via student engagement in problem-solving and exploration. Like PBL, project-based assessment is student-centered and requires reflection on both the process and the content to be meaningful.

Joining the ConversationIn college writing, it is important that.docxjesssueann
Joining the Conversation
In college writing, it is important that you can express yourself clearly and concisely. However, it is often not enough to simply explain what you're thinking. It is often necessary to explain how your ideas and arguments relate to the ideas and arguments offered by other writers. In other words, writing is a type of conversation, and in this lesson, you will begin learning how to join that conversation.
Student Learning Outcomes addressed in this unit:
Write in a style appropriate to audience and purpose
Demonstrate knowledge of indivdual and collaborative writing processes
Develop ideas with appropriate support and attribution
Use Edited American English in academic essays
Read, reflect and respond critically to a variety of texts
Vocabulary for Unit 3
These are the vocabulary words for this unit. Remember to incorporate them into your Discussion Board in this unit.
Conviction Impression Misconception Perspective
Profound Inherent Inveterate Amenable
Impinge Subversion Aesthetic
Lesson: Active Reading
When you participate in a conversation with a group of people, you must first listen to what the group is saying and understand their ideas and opinions before you can put in your own two cents. A written conversation works much the same way. Before writing about or responding to any text, you must begin by reading carefully and actively. This lesson introduces you to those skills.
Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
For many writing assignments, you will be required to use source material in your essays. Using source material can strengthen your writing because it shows that you have found evidence to support your main points from other writers. There are several different ways to incorporate source material into your writing: quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, and a combination of any or all of the above.
When Should You Quote, Paraphrase, or Summarize?
Whether you decide to use quotations, paraphrases, or summaries depends on a number of different factors. Here are some suggestions for how to decide which to use:
You should include
quotations
when
The author’s credentials will give your paper credibility
It is worded in a powerful, poignant way
The wording is very technical and difficult to translate
You should include
paraphrases
when
The source material is important but the wording is not (like facts and statistics)
The writer is not an expert in the field that would give your paper more credibility
You should include
summaries
when
The overall argument or main ideas are important but the details are not
The source materials needs to be shorter than the original
How do I quote, paraphrase, and summarize?
Steps for Quoting
Make a Quotation Sandwich
Start with an introduction to the quote saying who says it and giving the author’s credentials.
Give the quote. Don’t ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Seminars are a key component of university courses.
Seminars usually follow lectures and allow students to
explore the topic in greater depth, share views and ask
questions.
The aim of this assessment is for you to demonstrate your
ability to take an ‘active role’ in seminar discussions.
Taking an active role means: interacting with other members
of your group, structuring your arguments, referring to
research to make and support points, agreeing and
disagreeing, moving the discussion on and using appropriate
academic language.
3. The seminar is based on the topic of the listening exam. Once
you have taken your exam, you will be given a list of
discussion questions.
When you come out the listening exam, it is a good idea to
note down ideas, arguments and research that were
discussed so you can refer to them in your seminar.
You should also do additional research on the three topics
you are given, exploring relevant issues and making sure you
know topic-related vocabulary.
You should form opinions about the seminar questions, and
have evidence to support your views.
4. On the day of the assessment, your tutor will tell you
which group you are in, and the time you need to
attend.
At the start of the assessment, your tutor will tell you
which topic / question your group needs to discuss.
You will have 10 minutes to discuss the topic.
You may bring in a sheet of brief notes to refer to –
these should be bullet point notes of relevant research.
5. Use a range of discussion skills and expressions, e.g.
interrupting, asking and responding to questions, putting
forward a persuasive argument, agreeing / disagreeing, etc.
Interact naturally with your group, relating your comments to
those of other speakers.
Put forward a persuasive argument, supporting your opinions
with examples or evidence.
Structure your arguments coherently.
6. Prepare a speech or memorise your discussion. Tutors cannot
award marks for language that is prepared, and may result in
you needing to resit.
Just take turns giving your opinion one by one without
relating your comments to those of other people. An
effective seminar is a discussion whether members talk TO
each other, not AT each other.
Dominate the discussion. All group members should have the
chance to speak equally.
Be too quiet, or only respond when asked directly – tutors can
only mark what they hear; if you don’t produce language, you
can’t get marks.
7. Refer to the question and make sure your discussion
is staying on track.
Follow up on other people’s points – don’t suddenly
change topic.
Refer to research and examples to support your
points.
Use topic-specific vocabulary, rather than general
words.
Make sure others in your group understand– explain
your points or language, if necessary.
Pay attention to your stress and intonation. Ideally,
others should be able to understand your attitude to
a point just from your stress and intonation.
Towards the end, summarise your points.
8. Your tutor will give you the marking criteria for the
seminar discussion.
Watch the videos of students – what mark would you
give?
In groups of four, nominate one student to take the
role of the examiner. The other three should discuss
the following question for 5 minutes:
Advances in medical science, along with a declining
birth rate means that across the world, the
population is aging. Discuss solutions to address the
possible economic impact of an older population.
Editor's Notes
If students need support, could give them a card with solutions for them to discuss which may be the most effective: raise retirement age / better pension provision / encourage more people to have families / encourage different generations to live together.
