Most OCW fans are familiar with our list of most visited courses.  We update this list every month, but the courses on it typically don’t change very much.

Introductory courses are especially well-represented.

This led us to wonder: What are the most visited OCW courses in MIT departments not included in this list? In a series of posts, we’ll present the top five most visited courses in Humanities departments, starting here with Anthropology and History.

Assessing students’ learning is one of the most important things we do as educators. It’s also one of the most complicated. There’s a lot to consider:

• When will assessment happen? (Along the way? At the end of the course?)
• How will we collect useful information about student learning? (Through writing samples? Surveys? Online reading questions? Student self-assessments? Performance assessments? Something else?)
• How will we assess work that doesn’t have right and wrong answers, like creative writing or digital media projects?

Teachers, as we're sure you know, the AP* Exams are coming up in a few months! Will your students be ready?

We have some great resources to help them study for the biology, chemistry, calculus, and physics exams. Each section is organized by the topics on the exam, so you can find what you want fast.

Best of all, it’s all free and open for you to use!
