T 3. Authentic tasks always reflect lifelong learning.
T 4. Authentic assessment is better compared to traditional assessment.

F 7. Traditional assessment requires more time and money.
T8. Authentic assessment encourages collaboration.
F 9. Traditional assessment is individualists in nature.
T 10. Traditional and authentic assessment is both relevant.

Evaluation
The students will write an essay that answers the questions:

1. Why is it important to know the nature and essence of assessment?

To ensure that assessments are aligned with learning objectives, fair and accurate, used
to inform instruction, communicate student progress, and prepare students for future
assessments.

2. How better plan for assessment?

Consider the learning objectives, the different types of assessments, and variety; make
sure assessments are fair and accurate; and provide students with feedback.

3. As a would-be teacher, create your own assessment philosophy and explain

comprehensively the reason why you chose that philosophy.

Assessment should be authentic, fair and equitable, formative and diagnostic, and
collaborative. I chose this philosophy because I believe it is the best way to assess
student learning.
