Description
Performance assessment strategies are composed of three distinct parts: a performance task; a
format in which the student responds; and a predetermined scoring system. Tasks are assignments
designed to assess a student’s ability to manipulate equipment (laboratory equipment, computers,
documents, etc.) for a given purpose. Students can either complete the task in front of a panel of
judges or use a written response sheet. The student is then scored by comparing the performance
against a set of written criteria.
