For the assessments I am using the testbank provided from NELSON. We are still working out copyright therefore I am unable to post the assignment or tests online. But I can let you know what I am doing.

Each unit is assessed in the following way:
Assessment for Learning Questions -- these are posted in the Plan for the Units documents.
Assignment -- Testbank Questions
Exam -- Testbank Questions

I am going to do the project at the end of the semester and have them hand it in when they come in to write their final examination. That is what I am going to try at least. See if it works or not.

What are your thoughts on all of this?

My assessment includes:
Formative:
- a Do-Now at the start of class to review yesterday's KLO
- an Exit Slip: question given at the start of class, to be handed in at the end of class, to assess learning of today's KLO
- homework, including cumulative assignments (completion marks) (textbook)

Summative:
- Quizzes
- Tests
- Project

I am thinking of doing a midterm assignment as well. I will be tying the project in with the stats unit.

What kinds of assignments do you do?

Every unit has Portfolio questions that I consider the assessment for learning. They follow a format like this. The student MUST show of his/her work or discuss to me how he/she got the answer. They are provided the final answer so that they can check to see if they got it correct and then tell me how they did on the question. If they need help then I provide either a written explanation or a video.

Then I have two assessments of learning: a unit assignment and an exam.

I like this format -- I think I will try it for the Do-Now's. Thanks!
