In this video, Professor Ethan Danahy from Tufts University provides insights to his philosophies of assessment within his first-year intro-to-engineering course on robotics (using LEGO^® MINDSTORMS and LabVIEW Graphical Programming) and the techniques he uses for numerically evaluating his students throughout the semester.

In evaluating group projects, a midterm exam, and leveraging peer evaluation, Prof. Danahy employs a variety of methods for providing formative and summative feedback (qualitative and quantitative) to his undergraduate students.
