Assessment Methods: Personal Communication

Personal communication is often overlooked as an assessment method, yet it is probably more frequently used than any of the other methods. In this episode, we explore how to use personal communication to collect evidence of what students know and are able to do, as well well as highlight ways in which students themselves can play a role as co-assessors.
