Choosing Assessments

 

No single type of assessment provides a complete picture of student learning, but choosing the right type or right combination of assessments will give you a more accurate measurement of how closely students have achieved the learning objectives.

In this module, we will review some general assessment concepts and look at several types of assessment. As you read about each type of assessment, think about choosing assessments and creating alignment in your course. We will look at:

 

• objective tests
• essays
• concept maps
• projects & performances
