Activity 5: How we assess evidence - assessment tools

I have come to see assessment tools in a whole new light. I now know that assessment tools is more than outcome and allocating scores to outcome (which I use to focus on).  I now know that you must have outcomes, measurable criteria, specific skills to be measured, the level of performance required, a place for score and comments etc. I have realized also that knowing the requirements for an assessment tool makes it easier to develop one that would be helpful to my students. It would also help me to know when I have developed a good assessment tool..
