Essays: 

These require students to write multiple paragraphs or an extended response to a prompt.

  • Advantages: They assess higher-order thinking skills, encourage organization and clarity of thought, foster critical thinking and reflection, and can provide deeper insight into a student's understanding.

  • Disadvantages: They are subjective to score, time-consuming to grade, may have low reliability, and could be influenced by factors other than content, such as handwriting or writing ability.

These require students to apply their knowledge and reasoning to solve a given problem.

Portfolios

These are collections of student work that showcase progress, achievement, and learning over time.
