Using Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) are simple tools for collecting information and data on student learning in order to improve it. CATs are "feedback" devices, instruments that faculty can use to find out how much, how well and even how students are learning what they are trying to teach. Each Classroom Assessment Technique (a sample are listed below) is a specific procedure or activity designed to help faculty get immediate and useful answers to very focused questions about student learning. Additional information about CATs can be obtained from "Classroom Assessment Techniques-A Handbook for College Teachers" by Thomas Angelo and Patricia Cross.
