I was invited to give a talk for Dan Wolczuk's seminar for UW instructors, and chose to talk about Assessment Design for Learning. You can view the presentation here and access the slides below. In it, I touch on several of the ways I design assessments in my courses to encourage student learning, including:

• Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning
• Incorporating high level questions into assessments
• Interactive tutorials on threshold concepts
• Jigsaw activity for test review
• Two-stage testing
• Teaching communication and anaysis skills with projects
• Oral exams
• "Think Like an Actuary" *** look for a new post on this soon ***

Enjoy this glimpse into my teaching and assessment design philosophy!
