Introduction to The Classroom Assessment Techniques

The Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) are succint, self-contained, self-instructional, web-based modules that introduce a broadly applicable technique for use in college or university Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (SMET) course instructors. Each CAT has been written by a college or university instructor who currently uses the technique, and has been reviewed by the FLAG Editorial Board for accuracy and consistency with current professional standards of assessment. In most cases, the technique has an extensive history of research to support claims of reliability and validity. The CATs are linked to a set of discipline-specific "tools" that can be downloaded for immediate use.
