Performance Assessment
Class Critique: A critique can give a chance for students to explain what they are doing. It also allows other people besides the teacher to give their thoughts of a project. In this way, the student can get negative news from other sources besides the teacher, thereby preserving the relationship between the teacher and student. The teacher can kindly agree by saying, "It sounds like you could improve this if you work on..." rather than "I think your ... is not done as well as it should be and you can improve it by..."
Self assessment: having students review their own work can be useful in a situation where they are building skills. Sometimes when a student is learning a skill, we are not sure if they know where they are needing improvement. Having them self-assess, we then hear their own opinion on that skill. This helps us know their understanding besides what is seen in their production.

Developing grades
Grades can be created in other ways, but measuring success of learning is often done at the end of a course or segment of a course through tests. It can also be done by adding together quizzes over time. Behavior or participation can be added to a formula, but tests often take a large role in the calculation.
Final Tests, essays, presentations or finished projects
Diagnostic Assessments: These can be questions with open ended answers or multiple choice answers. When we leave the questions open for the students to answer in paragraph form, we can get an understanding of how they view a topic. When we can know what a student believes, this can help us guide students to a fuller understanding.

It is important to have insight into what our students already know. With this information, we can know where to start with our class. Asking for students to tell us what the know about a topic is also a great way to lead into a topic, "to get the ball rolling." But it will also give us a chance to clear some misconceptions as we start. Yet some teachers may choose to put the questions not in a conversation, but into a pre-topic quiz. This can keep the knowledge private and also give information about each student rather than the ones that want to share.
