How am I being assessed today? I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I will also ask you to complete a self-assessment which I will use to help me gauge how well you think you understand our material in class.
As a computer scientist, you have: Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
