Learning Management System – Proper Assessment Procedures

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:16:38 +0000

There are a lot of tools that make studying easy and a Learning Management System is one such tool that is highly effective. The performance of medical students has to be assessed carefully and cautiously. This created the need for a Histology assessment.

There are three things that have an influence on a student’s performance: skill, school and surrounding. All these factors are essential to decide if the assessment can be regarded as a catalyst in the learning process.

Though it is a well known fact that assessments are essential in an LMS, the frequency and method employed should be checked such that it doesn’t affect the student’s learning skills. No one can gain a deep knowledge in any subject if he/she adopts rote learning methods. Conducting assessment tests frequently is bad too as the students don’t get enough time to understand the lessons.

Neither of the scenarios spoken about can benefit a student. This makes it important for the assessment to be conducted meticulously so that it doesn’t have a bad influence on the student. This would make students understand that assessments are a part of the curriculum and essential to test their knowledge.

A perfect assessment procedure is highly essential in an LMS as it adds value to the course. By reducing the gap between the student’s practical and theoretical knowledge he/she can get full knowledge about the subject. This process would work wonders in making students learn subjects easily and also aids the learning system.

This way the teachers get to play an important role in the assessment too. Teachers will thus be able to set proper goals and gather data on ways to make students learn the subject easily and properly.

A Learning Management System concentrates on each and every student and hence only individual tests are conducted instead of group ones. Students can thus get a better idea on the lessons and prepare well. Tweaking the assessment process in favour of the student will make him/her feel positive about learning.

The rapid changes in education are the factors that have prompted the changes in assessments. Both the methods of teaching and the methods of testing have to be changed accordingly.

Teachers are not hesitating to adopt these changes as they prove to give good results. This does not mean that present methods should not be used at all. Modifications in the process are part and parcel of LMS as they only make them better. This shows that both traditional methods as well as new ones have to exist together.

Getting Down to Business

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:36:08 +0000

Many students enter BMCC with the hope of preparing for a career in business, but no definite sense of what area to target. Business 104 —”Introduction to Business” — can help them decide.
“Of all the courses I’ve taught over years — in finance, entrepreneurship, and other topics — this one is my favorite,” says Katherine Conway, an istant professor and deputy chair of the business management department. “What I like about it is that for many students, it’s their first introduction to business topics. It’s a survey course that covers everything from basic economics to human resources to how to read a financial statement.” For students who think they might be interested in a business career, she says, “it’s a wonderful way to gain a broad exposure to the field. Then they can begin focusing on areas that match their personality, interests and aptitudes.”
Online option
Introduction to Business meets three hours a week, but an online version of the course provides a viable solution for students with family or job commitments that make it difficult to attend classes in person on a fixed schedule. Once they’ve completed the survey course — on site or online — Conway recommends that students meet with a faculty advisor to select one of three academic tracks — business administration, business management, or small business entrepreneurship — and decide on a major.
“For some, the choice isn’t difficult,” she says. “A student who loves math might be a natural fit for a career in finance. Someone who is more interested in psychology or sociology might opt for marketing or advertising.”
The business administration track is designed primarily as a transfer program. “In addition to the introductory course, students take a handful of more specialized business-related courses, such as introduction to accounting and business law, as well as the required liberal arts courses,” Conway says. “The idea is to do the first two years of a baccalaureate program here and then transfer to a four-year college where they earn a bachelor’s degree.”
The business management track, in contrast, is geared towards students looking to move into the business world as soon as possible and thus involves a heavier concentration in business courses with less liberal arts content. “Many students who go this route are already in the workforce, and some may even have degrees,” says Conway. “Their interest is in deepening their knowledge of a particular subset, such as finance, or travel and tourism.” The third track is small business entrepreneurship, which gives students the skills they will need to start and run their own business, or be a successful employee of a small business.
A solid foundation
Whichever track they choose, students can count on an enlightening and challenging educational experience. Recently, Conway received an e-mail from a former student who had taken the online version of “Introduction to Business” three years ago.
“He said that he’d found the course much tougher than he’d expected,” Conway says. “There was too much homework, and too much commentary from me on the papers I handed back to him.” But the student graduated and went to earn a Bachelors degree at a four-year college in Florida. “He wrote that Introduction to Business had laid the foundation for the rest of his college career,” Conway says. “That was enormously gratifying.”
