Authentic assessment involves students performing real-world tasks so they can demonstrate that they can apply what they have learned. Rubrics are key components of authentic assessments. Important aspects of the type of assessment that enhances learning are:
clear criteria;
frequent feedback;
informative feedback; and
opportunities for self-assessment.
