Assessment Methods
What assessment methods do we use?
What do we use assessment for?
Serving a formative assessment purpose:
Assessments that provide information about a student’s strengths and weaknesses, such that it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process.
Serving a summative purpose:
Assessments that provide information about a student’s knowledge and evaluate how much the student has learned after the course.

Alternative Assessments
Alternative assessments, as compared to traditional assessments, are designed to assess students’ performance in achieving the intended learning outcomes, often in novel or authentic contexts and with a focus on higher-order capabilities instead of what they know and can recall.
