I think that there should be many different assessment tools in a classroom. For example, students need to write papers (even though they don't want to)to give them experience in written communications in the business world. Also, multiple choice quizzes on the course content give instant feedback to the student since they can be arranged to be computer graded. The discussion board allows students to communicate in a written form and respond to others. This is important practice for the student to learn how to communicate to others in a more formal way than just e-mail. Lastly, at least one assignment needs to require a Power Point presentation to give the student experience in creating Power Point presentations in case they need to have one for a business meeting. With a mixture of each type of assessment, the student gets a more hands on approach to learning and communication delivery which is valuable to their future in business.
