The document describes three common modes of assessment: traditional tests, performance assessments, and portfolios. Traditional tests usually involve standardized multiple choice or short answer questions assessing lower-level thinking and can be prone to cheating but are easy to administer and score objectively. Performance assessments require demonstrations of skills through practical exams, oral presentations, or projects and can measure behaviors not easily deceived but are more time consuming to score and administer. Portfolios are collections of work showing a student's growth over time and are a fair measure of intelligence but are very time consuming to develop and rate without clear rubrics.
