Types of Assessment Tools

There are two main types of assessment tools: formative and summative. Assessment tools can also be objective tests, like multiple choice, or subjective essay tests. Objective tests are best for large groups where impartial scoring is important, while subjective tests allow students to generate original answers and are best for small groups. Other assessment tools include authentic assessments like portfolios, performance-based tasks, and peer, self, and online evaluations.

answer
