Reply To: Lesson 3: Assessment & Growth Mindset – Discussion

Something I have been struggling with is the idea of giving the students unlimited time to complete in-class assessments. I need ideas as to how to make this work. We have a limited amount of class time with material to be covered and cannot devote an entire period (plus, in some cases) to doing what are intended be short formative assessments. I try to give a little more time to students who need it (many times the need is because the student did not know the assessment was going to happen even when reminded), but other things need to be addressed during the class period, like the material for the course.
