- What methods do you use to assess student progress and understanding?
Feel free to discuss how you go about assessing student comprehension and how it has helped them improve their understanding of the material.
Best answer
•I usually use direct measures such as assignments, tests, reports, essays, research projects, case study analysis, and rubrics for oral and other performances. •I think of checking understanding as an additional step in the teaching process. Basically it involves checking if students retain information while I'm still teaching, not afterwards. It often takes the form of a short formative assessment, but does not require a paper-and-pencil assessment.

In English language, if a sentence doesn't have a verb, the sentence is defined as "Definitive Sentence". For example "My name is Arda", "I am 28 years old" etc. In the sentence "He is beautiful" there is no verb that indicates an action. In order to make a sentence passive, we need to use the verb in a previous time window. Therefore, "He is beautiful", can't be made passive directly. However, if we add a verb that gives out the same meaning, we can make a definitive sentence passive easily. Being beautiful is "considered" or "seen" by other people. In this context, we can use "He is considered beautiful" as a passive sentence.
