Authentic Assessment Resource

I was introduced to an online resource from Jon Mueller, Professor of Psychology, at North Central College in Illinois. Authentic assessment is one of those I mentioned in my blog in the series on Service Learning.

Mueller defines authentic assessment as "a form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills." Perhaps your students are doing this when in the lab to demonstrate to you that they grasped the information in your lecture on baking by making a perfect muffin. Or, working the front desk of a hotel to demonstrate they understand how to properly greet and check a guest into a room.
