D659 - Pre-Assessment Assessing and
Monitoring Student Learning (POZC)
Graded A+ 2026
The teacher of a precalculus class is presenting a unit about trigonometric ratios.
The goal is that students will be able to use a given right triangle to calculate any
of the six trigonometric ratios.
Which assessment method should this teacher use to effectively monitor student
progress throughout the unit?
An end-of-class survey asking students to match trigonometric ratios to values.
The teacher of a psychology course is covering a unit on sensation and perception.
The goal is for students to learn how various brain structures contribute to
sensation and perception.
Which assessment method should the teacher use to effectively evaluate if
students understood the content after the completion of the unit?
An exam asking students to describe how each brain structure relates to sensation
and perception.
A physics teacher is presenting a unit about motion. At the end of the unit,
students will complete a group project in which the teacher hopes to have a high
level of student engagement.
What is an appropriate strategy for this goal?
Allow students to choose the topic of the project.
, The teacher of an engineering class is having students work on a project in which
they build a model bridge using hot glue and craft sticks. The project is being used
as an assessment for the objective, "Given basic materials, students will build a
24-inch model bridge that supports a minimum of 10 pounds."
Which standard is aligned with the assessment and objective?
Create and implement solutions to real-world problems.
In order to address the objective, "Students will correctly express at least four of
the six trigonometric ratios when given a labeled right triangle and an angle," a
math teacher is giving an exam with five triangles. Students must write the correct
trigonometric ratios for one angle of each of the five triangles.
Which standard is aligned with the objective and assessment?
Understand and apply trigonometric ratios.
For the final project for chemistry students, they were required to conduct and
document an experiment. The teacher found that the class average for procedures
was 86%, the class average for documentation was 52%, and the class average for
conclusions was 82%.
How should instruction be adjusted, based on the results of the assessment?
Place a greater emphasis on documentation for the next group of students.
In a unit about prime factorization, the teacher has the goal for students to be
able to determine the prime factorization for any three-digit number.
