work in this course, so it is important to make
it presentable and polished by using a

Assessments

Performance/Authentic Assessments. The authors
state that there is a temptation to limit the
scoring criteria to those qualities of
performance that are easiest to rate rather than
the most important required for doing an
effective job (KubiszynBorich, 2010). What do
they mean by this? Explain the benefits and
challenges of incorporating performance
assessments, and evaluate their overall
effectiveness in the classroom. Respond to at

combination of both qualitative and quantitative
item analysis. Respond to at least two of your

EDU 645 Week5
Correlation and Causality.According to the
authors of the textbook, one of the most
frequent misinterpretations in statistics (and in
education) is to infer that because two variables
are correlated with one another, one variable
causes the other (KubiszynBorich, 2010). What
does this mean? What are the potential dangers to
assessment and learning when one mistakenly
implies causality where only a correlation
between two variables exists? Respond to at least
two of your peers, providing feedback on their
listed dangers of implying causality, and how
these dangers can ultimately affect assessment,
instruction, and learning. Yourinitialpostshouldbe
between 250-300 words.

Accuracy and Error. The authors of your textbook
state that all tests and scores are imperfect
and are subject to error (KubiszynBorich,
2010). What do they mean by this? Why is it
important to recognize that there is no perfect
test? Knowing this, what can you do to ensure
that you obtain the most accurate assessment
results as possible?
