Internal assessments come in various forms.
Some of these types of assessment include:
Performance assessment,
which asks students to demonstrate their skills rather than
relate what they've learned through traditional tests,
assignments, projects, performances, and term papers and
other writing assignments.
Authentic assessments
are a type of performance assessment. Authentic assessments
"ask students to do real-life tasks, such as complete
internships, analyzing case studies with real data, or
conducting realistic laboratory experiments
Performance assessments have two
components: the assignment or prompt that tells students
what is expected of them and a scoring guide or rubric used
to evaluate completed work.
Embedded Assessment:
When program assessments are embedded into coursework. A
paper that a student writes in an advanced course, for
example, can give us information not only on what the
student has learned in that particular course but also on
the writing skills that she has developed over the entire
program.
