The text discusses different methods of assessment such as traditional, portfolio, performance-based and their advantages and limitations. It also talks about concepts like criterion-referenced testing, formative evaluation, and norm-referenced evaluation.

Some advantages of traditional assessment mentioned are scoring is objective and administration is easy. Some limitations of alternative forms are they are time-consuming and prone to scoring errors. Performance-based assessment looks at a collection of student work while portfolio assessment examines varied evidence of student achievement.

To ensure fairness in a criterion-referenced exam, the teacher should use the objectives for the units as a guide for test construction.
