description	Use when designing course assessments. Assessment = measure of mastery, not punishment.

Assessment Design

Assessment types: quizzes (recall), problem-solving (application), projects (synthesis). Multi-type assessment > single quiz.

Assessment types

1. Multiple choice quizzes — recall, recognition (low cognitive level)
2. Short answer — explanation, summary (mid level)
3. Problem-solving — apply concept to scenario (high level)
4. Case study analysis — evaluation (high level)
5. Project / portfolio — creation (highest level)
6. Peer review — evaluation + creation
7. Self-assessment — reflection

Assessment design rules

1. Match Bloom level — recall test for recall objective; apply test for apply objective
2. Multiple measures — diverse types reduce single-test bias
3. Immediate feedback — student knows what they got wrong + why
4. Retry friendly — assessments for learning, not punishment
5. Cumulative review — periodically test earlier material
6. Avoid trick questions — test knowledge, not testing ability

Assessment timing

Per module:

1. Pre-quiz (optional, sets baseline)
2. In-lesson questions (active learning)
3. End-of-lesson quiz (recall + comprehension)
4. End-of-module quiz (cumulative, application)
5. End-of-course assessment (synthesis, evaluation)
6. Capstone project (creation)
