Assessment
Formative assessment
Each unit of the module includes student handouts and exercises that can be used for formative assessments. In addition, each unit includes a set of short answer questions that can be given to students as homework, on quizzes, or on exams.
Summative assessment
The overarching Module Goals are:
- Students will explore how density variations in the subsurface allow the imaging of buried structures.
- Students will interpret magnetic data to detect hazards and infrastructure.
- Students will apply gravity and magnetics principles to interpret real-world data sets.
Summative assessment of these goals can be achieved via the short answer questions embedded within each unit. Alternatively, student performance on the case study exercises in Unit 3 can be considered a summative assessment for the module.
