Alt assessment
The document discusses the importance of including alternate forms of assessment in chemistry classes in addition to traditional tests and lab reports. It notes that traditional assessments primarily focus on recall of information, which is the lowest level of thinking according to Bloom's Taxonomy. The document provides examples of alternative assessments used in classes, such as notebook quizzes, hypothesis projects, and mole-related activities, which are designed to get students thinking, doing, processing, and ultimately learning at higher levels.
