4. Class achievement: How can you measure class achievement? Written tests and performance tests are the two primary methods of measurement. These tests give you, the instructor, an idea of how well you pre- sented the material. Prepare your written tests before class, using the IG as a source topic to test. Include only questions  that  are  based  on  the  need-  to-know  informa- tion that you presented during the lecture or demonstra- tion. Prepare your performance tests in the same way as you do written tests. Require each student to perform the procedure while another student assists. If neces- sary, you can prepare job sheets to help the students in a particularly complex procedure. Also, two students may take turns performing the same procedure as you observe  and  grade  their  performances.  Wherever  a  haz- ardous  condition  may  exist,  always  emphasize  safety precautions on the job sheet.
