•Gives feedback to help students increase competence

4. Case studies and problem-solving
assignments
This type of assignment required the student
to place him or herself in or react to a situation
where their prior learning is needed to solve
the problem or evaluate the situation.
5. Homework
•is a structured practice exercise that usually plays a part in
grading.
•Sometimes instructors assign reading or other homework
which covers the theoretical aspects of the subject matter, so
that the class time can be used for more hands-on practical
work.
6. Projects
are usually designed so that the students can
apply many of the skills they have developed in
the course by producing a product of some kind.
Usually project assignments are given early in the
course with a completion date toward the end of
the quarter.
7. Portfolios
are collections of student projects and products. Like
a photographers portfolio they should contain the
best examples of all of their work. For subjects that
are paper-based, the collection of a portfolio is
simple.
8. Observation
should follow an established plan or checklist
organized around concrete, objective data.
Observation needs to be tied to the objectives of the
course.
