Maybe it's the holiday season, or I'm just turning into a softy, but I only made the students take the "Do it" assessment, instead of both. The "Do it" assessment is basically a short assignment that required all the skills we had learned (formulas, functions, formatting, sorting, and creating a chart). Skills stick around longer than knowledge so I wasn't surprised by the strong performance by most of the students. If the student wanted to get a "4", there was an additional component which required the students to create a form, fill it in with provided information, and then filter the results.
Looking towards the end of the semester, we only have two more assessments: keyboarding (we've been working on this all semester) and programming ("Do it"). There's a light at the end of the tunnel! :)
