Each report should synthesize your experience in terms of these three domains (defined below): cognitive, affective, and conative. Use these headings on your paper.
cognitive: What did you learn about assessment? How would you summarize the important topics that were covered this week?
affective: What are your feelings about the course pace, group work, and your participation?
conative: How did you approach the work? What type of input did you put into the material, lessons, discussion, etc.?
Full credit requires at least 2 paragraphs on cognitive, one on affective and one on conative. Each one-page report is worth 10 points, for a total of 50 points toward your final grade.
