Lisa,
This reminds me of a view I have heard articulated a
few times - that understanding is demonstrated most keenly
when students are asked to explain/analyse/apply/etc. ideas
to others...
It's one of the reasons why I have asked the students in
one of my classes to deliver some research-based teaching
to each other, and I guess one of the main rationales
behind the use of examinations... I just wish I could get
away with using such presentations for simply formative -
rather than summative - assessment.
