I really don’t like doing things at last moment like writing this journal but it is unexplainable why I am doing it now, the last day. Anyways it has nothing to do with technologies, or assessments and evaluations. May be something to do with "non-technical world!"
Pondering over evaluations was fun, especially when I worked on Bloom’s. I am glad that the criteria I use for evaluation in my distance learning and f2f classes is a standard one but I still want to try more. Not sure what this “more” could be. I might have better clarity by the end of this course or at the beginning of the next one. I am fine with my online tests with time limit and trial control. The idea of proctored tests is difficult to implement for a “distance” learning course as many students contact me before registration to make sure that they don’t have to be on campus for any of exam.
After in-depth exploration of WebCT (LMS) I realized that there are some other tools that I should use for my spring semester. Learning modules, calendar, and chat will be my new tools next semester.

Shabana,
I get those same "will we be required to come to campus" questions as well. I think that no matter what you expect, as long as you give them warning the first week in the syllabus (so they can switch classes) you've done your responsibility.
As for doing it at the last minute, just allow this to remind yourself how the vast majority of your students are working as well.
