\u00a0do your assessment choices reflect disciplinary modes of thinking and expression? \u00a0if so, how do they do that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>in the following video, <strong>dr. cynthia brame,\u00a0assistant director at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 and senior lecturer in biological sciences at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地,<\/strong> uses wiggins and mctighe&#8217;s <em>backward design<\/em> principles to discuss what assessment can and should look like in an inquiry-based lab setting (1998). \u00a0<strong>dr. steve baskauf, lab director in biological sciences at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地, and dr. erika grundstrom, astronomy lab director at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地<\/strong>, also discuss what assessment looks like in labs in their disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0kmtkhdszk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>what assessment types stood out to you of the examples you just saw?
