CAT: The Minute Paper Instructions: Please answer each question in one or two sentences. 1) What was the most useful or meaningful thing you learned during this class? 2) What questions remain uppermost in your mind as we end this class? Reference: Angelo, T. A. and Cross, K. P. (1993) Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teachers. 2 nd edition. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

CAT: Memory Matrix (Biology example) Instructions: Take 10 minutes to complete the matrix below. This assignment is ungraded and anonymous. Property of WaterExplanationExample of Benefit to Life Cohesion and high surface tension, adhesion Hydrogen bonds hold molecules together and adhere them to hydrophilic surfaces. Leaves pull water upward from roots in microscopic vessels. High Specific heat High heat of vaporization Expansion upon freezing Versatility as a solvent

CAT: Teacher Designed Feedback Form (Faculty: write your own questions) Instructions: Please complete this anonymous feedback form based on your reactions to the course so far. I will share the results with the class next week. 1. On a scale from 1 to 4, please rate the clarity of today’s session. 1- totally unclear 2-somewhat unclear 3- mostly clear 4-very clear 2. Overall, how would you rate the pace of this class? 1- moves too fast 2-about right 3-moves too slowly 3. How could the instructor help you improve your learning during future class sessions? (Please list one or two specific suggestions.) 4. What could you do to improve your learning in future class sessions? (Please list one or two specific suggestions.) Reference: Angelo, T. A. and Cross, K. P. (1993) Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teachers. 2 nd edition. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

CAT: Group Work Evaluation Form 1. Overall, how effectively did your group work together on this assignment? Not at allpoorly adequatelywell extremely well 2. How many of the five group members participated actively most of the time? How many of you were fully prepared for the group work most of the time? Give one specific example of something you learned from the group that you probably wouldn’t have learned on your own. 5. Give one specific example of something the other group members learned from you that they probably wouldn’t have learned without you. 6. Suggest one specific, practical change the group could make that would help improve everyone’s learning. Reference: Angelo, T. A. and Cross, K. P. (1993).
