From what I have learned in Measurements and Evaluations, assessment is also a balancing act. Each type of assessment has its own pros and cons, but every type also has a purpose. As an educator, I believe that to truly test students fairly on their learning, the tests given must be as diverse and flexible as the students themselves.…
