ASSESSMENT

Formative (per module)

• Discussions

• Written Assignments

• Peer feedback

• Instructor feedback

Summative

• Quizzes where applicable

• Final outline of student’s own story using concepts learned in course

• Graded against a rubric

NEXT STEPS

Expand upon the worldbuilding module

• Research ways to increase summative evaluation opportunities within

this very subjective topic

• Bring in more real world examples so that learners can dissect them

and apply the concepts to their own works

• Perhaps split this module into two sections to be covered over a two

week period instead of one.
