Assessment has become perhaps the single most prevalent term in education in recent years. Before this course, I had never used portfolio assessment—neither as a student nor a teacher. I see great value in such a method however. I hope to implement portfolio assessment, if not in introductory Latin courses (where I think assessment based on quizzed and tests is very much appropriate) at least in my intermediate language courses where a body of work produced throughout the course can be sufficient to assess whether the student is accomplishing the course objectives and developing in his or her understanding of the language.
