My one year and a half experience in teaching college students were very fulfilling. It is by teaching that I came to know the different characteristics and attitudes of students towards learning. It is by teaching as well when I experienced a lot of happy and motivational days and a lot of heartbreaks. For that, I mean a heartbreak seeing students who are failing and are not kind enough to come to school and do what is expected of them to do. Nevertheless, it was a great experience being part of a knowledge-sharing system.  

After learning the assessment purposes and understanding the relying concepts of assessment design, I realized that it must be both student-centered and teacher-centered. Students can learn from the assessment, and teacher can learn from it as well. It is a process that involves the educator and the learner. It is not easy to design an assessment to give to students because it must be aligned at the objectives of the lessons and of the course. Thus, it requires a teacher to be creative in executing the assessment because an assessment should be authentic and should be able to cater to every student’s needs.  I am happy to know that I was able to execute well those concepts when I was still teaching. For that, I must give myself a “Pass”.
