Grades
Not a motivator to perform better during trip, but to
complete assignments
Credit was a motivator to participate in program in
some cases
Performance Assessment
[T]he sum of the drills is never equal to fluid, effective,
and responsive performance - no matter how complex
or varied the drills almost every major test (or set of
textbook problems) is a drill test, not a performance
test. (Wiggins, 1993, p. 202)
Program has emphasis on developing leadership
abilities, but this wasnt assessed during & after trip
missed opportunity?
Suggested Changes
Before / During Trip:
Individual writing assignment allow students to choose 1 from the
multiple existing options, but increase (and make clear) the expectations
Journal more early and frequent feedback to ensure they are on track
After the trip, select one entry to speak/write about at length
Suggested Changes
After Trip:
Art piece to symbolize something important from trip
Presentations
Exam somewhat arbitrary value?
Research project motivated by trip but connection somewhat
vague?
