Yes, teacher use variety of assessment method to test how well the students understand and acquire the learning during or after the discussion. Appropriateness are used by choosing what assessment tool should be used to enhance the students skills and performance. 2. Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods? The expected students’ learning behaviours are properly and appropriate assesses through those assessment method. The intended outcome is also the result get by teacher because he/she use the appropriate assessment tool to test the students’ knowledge, skills and performance.
