oral encounters are how we asses our students. we do it one-on-one. more often than not, my students are taught to memorize the answers written in our reviewers. they speak like robots. to catch them, sometimes we alter the question a little...
* what are the 3 big islands in the philippines? "the 3 big islands in the phlippines are luzon, visayas and mindanao"
* what is the name of the biggest island in the philippines? "the 3 biggest islands in the philippines are luzon, visayas and mindanao."
it's so frustrating that parents can't seem to let their children think independently. we're not even assessing the concept per se, what we're really after are the skills of critical thinking and the like. we don't put too much emphasis on memory.
