This last part of the chapter is all about different types of assessment for either quizzes, tests, or projects. I believe this information to be important to understand because the manner in which you assess can directly affect how you measure the students' understanding of the knowledge. For example, if all a teacher did was have true or false questions to measure their understanding, there is a 50% chance that it will either be correct or incorrect.
Another aspect to consider is the manner in which you write different types of assessments. Depending on how you write them, the questions can appear vague or confusing. This can also affect the outcome or results. There are proper guidelines to writing types of assessments. For example, with multiple choice questions, the teacher should have the same number of responses for each item. This keeps consistency and allows it to appear more uniform for the student.
For my future classroom, I will attempt to use a variety of assessments. This allows the types of assessment to become more diverse for the students. I will also adapt certain tests for certain students; this would depend on if they have a IEP or a 504. I believe this differiention will allow for an environment conducive for student success.
