Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
We assess theoretical info and skills based performance. They complement each other. Teaching of theory is interactive and dynamic, formative assessments are part of dissemination of information. Skills performance has a very specific format and involves discussion, skills lists, video and personal demonstrations, individual and group practice, debriefing and finally a summative evaluation of performance. This multimodal approach is meant to engage the student in active learning
I find that my assessments that have quick/immediate feedback, tend to engage my students more than the written tests.
Some assessments I apply in my current program, such as giving the students the ability to self asses. I find this encourages more students to engage.
