Probably, the course is good for some people. But, for me, it is no so motivating. The videos are very long.

Yes, the ideas are great. You learn a lot from the videos and some of the readings. However, many of the readings require you to purchase them. That, however, is a small thing. The main reason I give this certificate class 2 stars is that the peer review assignments and the final quiz suck. We are asked to grade for things that weren't presented in the lectures, readings or the assignments themselves. The final quiz asks a LOT of questions about our interpretations related to statistical data; this was NOT covered in the lectures. I didn't do much of the readings on this because statistics isn't something I know or understand, so doing those readings wouldn't have helped me to pass the first time. Yes, I had to retake it; my second result was 83%, but most of the questions I missed were related to these interpretations of statistics (no surprise there, right?). There was a clear lack of alignment, something they emphasized in the lectures. It suggests that the teachers who created this course don't practice the things they're asking us to do, and the best evidence for that is the graded assignments. This certificate was free to me due to CourseraPlus; if you're thinking about spending money, don't. Just audit this certificate class, as you'll get more out of it that way. Spending money on this is a waste of money unless you need to have the certificate for your institution. I feel my learning was cheated.

The course is really great!

I enjoyed every video, every reading, and most of all, every practical activity of the course! This course is a fantastic opportunity to learn/discover the peculiarities of Assessment in higher education. Although I did not quite like the Final Test, I must admit that the rest of the activities were extremely effective and entertaining!

Thank you for the opportunity and great experience!

The course was sufficiently challenging, very well structured. The concept of explanation as well as perspectives of the teachers and students added a very interesting angle to the course. One small detail, when I posted a question in the discussion forum, I didn't get an answer from a TA or a course administrator or instructor.

This was the most helpful course that I have done so far in Coursera. It was the most applicable to my professional practice. I appreciate the time and effort that Risbo have put into this MOOC to make it so useful. In particular, I got a lot out of the many interviews (both students and staff of Erasmus University).

I have learned many new concepts that will help me get ahead in my profession. But most importantly, I will be able to assess my students fairly and clearly. This has been my concern for so long and I had not had the proper orientation in the matter before.

I'm very thankful.

Un gran curso que me permitió mejorar mis habilidades en la creación de examenes universitarios. Actualmente estoy aplicando habilidades obtenidas durante el curso, las cuales han mejorado la comprensión de mis materias y apoyado a alcanzar nuevos objetivos a mis alumnos.

The course was interesting in the way it was presented and useful to the extent that it made me reconsider the method of assessing my students to make the evaluation more valid, reliable, and transparent.

I can not find words to thank you. May God bless you guys.

The course designed so convenient and all materials provided are clear to understand and more important is the fact that all of them were chosen in right proportion to digest and feel the hunger to continue the course

The course was well developed. The information provided was meaningful and provided the training I required in assessments. The videos and readings helped me to obtain a clearer understanding of the subject matter.

classroom setting in the context of improving students learning. My concepts are clear now regarding the importance of timely and right feedback and how course/lesson objectives may be aligned with the SLOs

It was an insightful transformational journey...elevated me from an amateur to a super amazing teacher with all its practicality. It wasn't easy but I'm glad I ventured into this, cheers to more learning!

There was a lot of really good information in the course that has me rethinking how assessments are structured and graded in my department. I plan to recommend the course to all of my faculty.

I really liked the assignments! While the information in the videos might have seemed a bit superficial, the readings and assignments allowed me to dive into the topic and gain more insight.

Very intriguing 5 weeks indeed. You need to literally spend at least 4 hours a day, otherwise, you will be staring at a backlog. Personal experience, but I managed to pass. Happy for that!!

It was good course where the videos were short, specific and clear. Also the reading material was helpful in understanding the concept of validity and reliability of assessments.

Excellent course for the teachers in higher Educations...Everyone should do it to acquire the skills about Assessment grades, feedback policy, designing question paper and etc.

I really had a great time learning this course. I have learned a lot from the video lectures. I enjoyed doing the activities especially I can relate it to my current work.

It is a very useful course. I thank and appreciate the faculty of the Erasmus university who is responsible for this course.

Thanks a lot.

Very informative and useful for all teachers or would-be teachers. I am feeling more confident to construct an assessment after taking this course.

This is such a great course for those wishing to understand assessment methods. It is professionally designed and I have learnt so much from this.

This course is really engaging. The amount of work done can be worth university credits. Even peer reviewing continues to craft one’s skills.

Material was great and the presentation methods varied so it held my interest. Would recommend to anyone who has to do course assessments.

This MOOC has been a significant toll that has increase my undersatnding of the different components that the assessment process have.

This was an excellent , high quality course! I learned a lot and now will be able to immediately start using this knowledge in my job.
