Assessment Methods
| Methods | Specifically, I looked at the Visual Literacy Forum answers and Gallery Review paper to evaluate students’ understanding of the materials presented and their ability to articulate the synthesis of the materials. The Gallery Review is about image analysis based upon the class materials. The Visual Literacy Forum occurs in the second week of the class and the Gallery Review is due the eighth week of the class. |
