It was a very tiring day for a student who was currently survive from a stressful subjects of the previous semester and now here I am again enrolling for the summer class. As an incoming fourth year student I am eager to finish my schooling this incoming 2012 graduation , I would like to see myself wearing those toga as a sign of my fulfilled dream, having a bachelors degree. So I am striving hard now to cope with the behind subjects that I forgot to take before. Now I'm enrolling the Ed103, Math 2 and Math31 subjects which I find useful and interesting because they were interrelated to each other. I am thankful that we are handled by a dynamic professor named Dr. Ava Clare Marie O. Robles, she is really fit to the subject that she is handling now, she has a lot to offer and to share to her students. The knowledge that she will impart will be useful for us future teachers. The subject Education 103 or the Assessment of Student Learning has been defined by D. Rowntree (1977) as "getting to know our students and the quality of their learning". P. Ramsden (1992) describes it as a way of teaching more effectively through understanding exactly what students know and do not know. Thus, assessment enables the teacher/lecturer to understand the processes and outcomes of student learning. It helps to determine what students actually achieve in their study. Such meaningful information on student learning can be used for academic improvement. It is not an end in itself but a means to an educational purpose. Assessment plays a key role in determining the quality of student learning. If students perceive that their learning will be measured in terms of producing facts, they will adopt surface approaches to learning. Therefore, whatever assessment methods we adopt will encourage different approaches to learning. D. Boud sums it up succinctly, "assessment methods and requirements probably have a greater influence on how and what students learn than any other single factor. This influence may well be of greater importance than the impact of teaching methods".

The assessment of learning by definiton is a gathering and synthesizing useful information from your student and the classroom. As a teacher you are responsible for the overall management of the classroom and handling also your students.
So as we future teachers, as we discover the more exciting world of education, we must attentively listen to our professors because they are the only reliable persona that can feed our hungry minds with the philosophy, technique and ways leading to the quality of education we were looking for.

In our first class im excited and nervous,excited because I know this is a new experience of being a student its a new knowledge to learn and nervous because this is a new struggle to come but i tell to myself this is the life of student, when im entered in our classroom my classmate told us that maam Robles is our professor in ed 103 .Im so glad because i knew maam Robles is very effective teacher she's my idol; although there's a lot of requirements but that's part of our subject. And i know that's the way she teaches us on how to become a responsible and effective teacher someday. She trained us on how to become a good and effective teacher,like me as a future teacher this a very important. I'm so bless because ma'am taught us how to become a responsible and effective teacher somedy.THANKS MAAM GOD BLESS YOU.
