Objective assessments are necessary and should be used to determine whether students have mastered the content. However, objective assessments should not just be right or wrong answers. Feedback should be provided for objective assessments so that students understand why their answers are wrong or right. Additionally, subjective assessments should be used when you are trying to determine the perspective of the student in reference to the content being covered.

Second, I can use subjective assessment as another form of checking for understanding with students via essays or short answer quizzes.
