what is the impact of assessment on the learning process?

Can't teach effectively without assessing student skill levels to know what to teach next. Do you mean the routine assessing of student levels done by teachers, or the NCLB/state nonsense?

b -- you may plan to teach something and miss it, the timing of the teaching and the content could vary from the plans, so the testing must vary with it.. D is too much last minute and doesn;t rely on planning.

The exam gives a standard, easily checked way for the instructor to evaluate the information gained (and spit back out) for all participants, supposedly without prejudice.  It sounds as if you have test-taking anxiety, which is not uncommon,  but is self-treatable.  Realize that anxiety over being evaluated doesn't magically end with graduation, as we are evaluated using such tools across all life realms, throughout our adult lives.  On the upside, realizing the issue lets you begin to deal with it and overcome it's debilitating effect.  Perhaps if you envision the VERY WORST that could happen (failing the test/course), and make peace in your mind that you may have to take it over, it can help you to relax enough to let you learning successes shine through on the exam.  Good luck, and try to remember it is just one test, NOT the only predictor of your future happiness.

It is difficult to know how to answer your question without knowing more about your paper and exactly what you have covered.  Possibly summarize your findings briefly and succinctly, emphasizing the main areas of learning affected by ASD.  Mention the great variety of learning skills possible among individuals with ASD.  I think it would be important to highlight communication, social skills and behavior.  I hope this is of some help.

the type of learning principle that is based on the assumption that ideas and experiences reinforce one another and can be linked to enhance the learning process

Although projects can seem like a royal pain, they truly do help in the learning process.  Doing a project can allow you to practice your critical thinking skills, hone your knowledge, (as opposed to quickly stuffing it in your tired mind to be barfed up later), and activate different centers of your brain, creating a thicker web of associations you can draw upon later.  ...and if it's for an assignment, it helps to sharpen the weapon of communication and possibly Jedi mind tricks, "You will give me an A."\nI don't remember tests I've taken, but I certainly remember projects and can apply that kind of knowledge to all sorts of things I bump into.

Yes and no.  Coursework is a better tool for gauging what your students are actually comprehending.  The disadvantage is that you don't know if the student(s) are doing the coursework themselves or if they are getting outside work.  Test taking can sometimes be a good tool - provided your students are good test takers.

i dont think there's a big impact. Mostly, these students watch movies primarily for entertainment. However, it also depends on the type of students and the quality of schools they are in. But you'll seldom meet students who watch movies for English enhancements.  There are even times when they wont bother understanding what the character says in the movie as long as they can understand the story through actions and gestures of the characters.

The impact is generally, good. It has narrowed the gap between countries and cultures. It also provides unlimited knowledge at your fingertips. It has freed up the mind from useless clutter, because now the computer can store it instead of us.

Most of the development in a natural process. However making sure that the child gets the required nutrition ( vitamins, minerals etc)and an environment that stimulates his brain might help to complement the learning process

Work experience might not help while taking up the CAT's written test where ofcourse your preparation helps a lot. But while the group discussions are going on, the work experience surely makes a lot of difference. Especially when group discussion topic is a case study of some kind. There one can surely put in some very good inputs. Also when one has worked in an industry, one gets used to putting the ideas and facts in a more logical manner!

that really depends on your personal situation.  it would help if you had any idea how you almost got a b.  im a straight a student and id say its because i always do my homework, study more than i think i have to, and i happen to test well.  whats most important depends on how your teacher grades.  sometimes homework has the greatest effect on your grade, sometimes tests.  participating in class is always an extra bonus if your teacher grades subjectively and not as point-based.  dont worry if you get a b though!!  Some classes and teachers are just way harder than others.  If theres a particular class thats concerning you, ask your teacher directly about it.  keep up the work and good luck!

Once you've identified your group and carried out your initial assessment, you need to discuss what the results of your assessment show your learners needs' are. E.g. One of my students has mobility impairments and visual impairments and has a carer who acts as a scribe for her in classes. The results of her initial assessment suggested that she knows and understands my course (Introduction to Psychology) well and has a fairly good quality of written communication but her mobility impairments mean that she sometimes has trouble looking at the whiteboard because she can't turn her head and needs more space to sit in because of her wheel chair. So, what I'm about to do (because I will be observed in 2 weeks) is draw up a group profile, in which I will explain what the special and invidual needs needs of my leaners are and how I will meet these needs in the classroom. I will also say how many students I've got, what their backgrounds are (e.g. age, gender, ethinicity) and what I they already know. Sorry, I know that I probably sound a bit confusing and long-winded here, but in summary, this is what I do to assess the needs of my learners (this approach may help you when structuring your assignment):\n\n1. Who are my learners? E.g. all females aged approx 20-65\n\n2. Where are they studying? E.g. Adult Community College.\n\n3. Why are they studying the course? E.g. because they are interested in the subject.\n\n4. What do they already know about the subject & what other qualifications do they have? E.g. GCSE Grade C in English and Maths but have never studied Psychology before. This means that they should be able to cope with the requirements of my course as it is a beginner's course but some students may need help with study skills when writing assignments (does the college offer this. If so, do I need to refer them to anyone for language help?)\n\n5. What learning needs do they have & how will I spot this (aka initial assessment)? E.g. A standard college health questionnaire suggests that one of my students has a visual impairment.\n\n6. What individual needs do the students have? E.g. All of my students are over 19 and therefore have family responsibilites to deal with. \n\n7. How will I meet these needs? E.g. When designing resources I always print off an extra copy in a larger font size on yellow paper and only use a black pen when writing on the whiteboard, so that the student can see what I'm writing better (the student stated that this would help on the health questionnaire). I also offer this student one to one clarification when necessary\n\n8. How does this inform my learning programme? Assessing learner's needs is part of differentiation, so when planning activities I use experiences that are relevant to the students' lives wherever possible (e.g. applying psychological theories to topical issues, such as muslim women wearing the veil), keeping terminology to a minimum and always explaing it in simple language, so that everyone can understand. I also provide handouts summarising what they've learned in the lesson (so that students find it easier to listen to me and look at my presentations on the SMARTboard). In the case of the student who has a visual impairment, I may also consider things, such as body language training or computer programs that can be used to teach visually impaired students. Also, I frequently use group activities, so that she isn't ignored by the rest of the class. Similarly, I mix students who are a bit quieter/less confident with those who are more confident, so that everyone gets a chance to contribute to the lesson. I may also plan for things such as field trips, which could make the topics more interesting for my students.\n\nIn Psychology, the term discuss means describe and evaluate, so for each of the issues described above, I would also give the advantages and disadvantages of what I'm doing as I go along. E.g. The health questionnaire is us

I totally agree that the testing and assessment is focusing not just on memorization, but memorization of certian information.  It is so focused that those kids who have a natural interest or aptitude for certain subjects can't get beyond the basics in class.\n\nWe need to bring back discussions, research papers, etc.  I was writing research papers as early as 3rd grade.\n\nUNFORTUNATELY another big affect on the kids today in learning, is lack of parental involvement.  With both parents working (sometimes multiple jobs) or single parents struggling just to put food on the table, there is often not enough time in the day (or energy in their body) for some parents to be more involved in their child's education process.\n\nNot only does the school system need to reasses their programs (No Child Left Behind is good in theory, but needs some reform)... but parents need to be more involved and in some areas that means we need an economic/income boost.
