Assessments are a valuable part of the learning process. Students need personal assessments to build their confidence in learning and their ability to perform. One of the most valuable tools students carry away from our lessons is the ability to accept constructive criticism.  We will help teach learners proper criticism techniques that help create a learning dialogue between advisors and students as well as from student to student. Please see individual assessment rubrics for each learning tool. It is my hope that students will post their work on our blog and we will have an online critique where other students may observe individual works of others and give praise and criticism which is a valuable tool.
