I just posted the final exam for CLD121 Fall2006: The Competent Learner and Reflective Practitioner.

Imagine that you are given the task of creating a school for children. Describe that school in a personal reflective essay format so that it reflects your personal system of values. Explain some or all of the following:

• how the school would function;
• what it would look like;
• what activities would go on;
• what its goals, mission and social function would be;
• the role adults would play;
• how would students be evaluated;
• how it would integrate with the community, society, and/or world.

I like to give the question a week in advance so that there is no panic. Students get to plan out their answer and bring in a sheet with their notes on it. It makes the exam performative rather than a ‘guess what’s in the prof’s head’ sort of thing. I’m really excited to see what sort of answers I get. Definitely more fun than multiple choice or short answer: explain the significance of critical thinking in your personal and professional life. Ugh.
