October+Update

=**"How are We Doing?"**= = = I have been using the techniques for Formative assessment we talked about and I am finding a few interesting things are starting to happen: //  -Kathleen Salbuvik   //
 * The students are eager to have a meaningful discussion about their work
 * The process helps us to begin a relationship of creative learning and teaching
 * There is a new level of respect for both the learners (teacher and student) developing
 * The quality of work has improved
 * The students are starting to engage in discussion with the instructor and the other students around the ideas generated during classroom critics. This process is starting to build as the students are asking each other for assistance without direction from the instructor.
 * There is more intrest in the quality and craftmanship of the process and the product.
