 * Philosophy of Evaluation**

My methods of evaluation will be as student-centered as possible. I plan to rely as little as possible on tests, multiple choice or otherwise, and instead focus on project and team-based learning. Most activities in class will be conducted as a group, with some individual component when possible, and projects will be equally divided between group and individual. When possible, I will allow student choice in how they are assessed.

I also plan to give as much emphasis to formative evaluation as possible. I want my students to view learning as an ongoing process, not on a fixed time schedule so they can forget what they learned as soon as the test is over. Activities in class and choices for projects will include as much variety and choice as possible, so students can show their strengths and be more motivated to complete the work.
