14. ASSESSMENT
 Formative (per module)
• Discussions
• Written Assignments
• Peer feedback
• Instructor feedback
 Summative
• Quizzes where applicable
• Final outline of student’s own story using concepts learned in course
• Graded against a rubric

15. NEXT STEPS
 Expand upon the worldbuilding module
• Research ways to increase summative evaluation opportunities within
this very subjective topic
• Bring in more real world examples so that learners can dissect them
and apply the concepts to their own works
• Perhaps split this module into two sections to be covered over a two
week period instead of one.
