MeriAnn, I agree! I would also add that how much students are learning can be more of a continuum. With that, how well do they know. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Joel, I think it depends. I have friends that are adamant that students know theory and those assessments tend to be more objective. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Christen, Agree! If you need certain objectives in a certain environment, it is imperative that the assessment take that into account also. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Casey, You make a great point! Timing is everything. We know that we have to make sure that the assessment reflects the objectives but we don't always think about the timing. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Chastity, You make a great point. One assessment does not make a complete assessment. There must be multiple assessments that to ensure mastery of a subject. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

BRIGITTE , You added an added dimension to the discussion; what do students come to us knowing about the content or skill. Good point! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
