Assessment of Module Goals

This page lists assessments for the entire module, broken down by unit (100 points total). The assessments (both formative and summative) are designed to assess student learning throughout the module, and specifically aim to assess student understanding of the module goals. These goals are:

  1. For students to identify and apply credible geologic and social science data sets to identify local hazards and vulnerable groups and structures, and assess risk for themselves and their community.
  2. For students to collect and analyze relevant social data on individual and community knowledge, risk perception, and preparedness within their local social networks.
  3. For students to identify potential stakeholders and assess the importance of communication and interaction among these groups to make recommendations on how to define and develop prepared and resilient communities.
