Can you please explain what this thread is about????"ranking tasks" which might be a topic worth discussing.
The Subject: line is uninformative.
The initial posting led me to believe the subject might be
A later posting mentioned "cutting edge materials forhttp://mzeilik.com/
physics that Slatter, et al and Zeilik did for Astronomy"
but when I go to Zeilik's site
he features a "diagnostic"http://mzeilik.com/files/Adtver2.pdf
which does not involve ranking tasks and -- while mostly
harmless -- does not in any obvious way come anywhere near
the "cutting edge".
Have you checked the flag site to see what sorts of assessment are_______________________________________________

you an idea of the current state of student understanding.
just a thought...also, the supplementary problem in Physics by

I did find that the materials I listed DID aid me in correcting
ideas the
students had after a "lecture"...my style is really more of a
discussion.
I just was hoping someone was developing the same cutting edge
materials for
physics that Slatter, et al and Zeilik did for Astronomy. I only
have a few
more years of teaching in me and wanted to continue to do the best
I can for
my students.
