Developing more authentic graduate classroom assessments ... taking risks and enhancing learning. A conversation among myself , Simon Otto from the School of Public Health and a masters-level graduate student from his class Aleksandra Tymczak about creating authentic classroom assessments are necessary for students to make more practical connections to their learning. We know that the use of performance assessments of experiential learning exercises tends to be less common in graduate classrooms and we don’t think it should be.

His exercise focused on students applying the understandings of the Incident Command System team for the Alberta Agriculture and Forestry emergency response team to a real world scenario about a Salmonella outbreak originating from a hatchery.
