Purpose: 

I would like to move away from more formal assessements, such as quizzes and tests, which I do not feel like they truly show what my students have learned in the sense of concepts, vocabulary, or skills. I'm also interested in how a teacher can score such assessments, such as science notebook entries, and I want to learn how to use these assignments to assess my own growth as an instructor.
