Question 2
As we plan our classroom assessments, one of the decisions we will have to make is whether to use a paperpencil or performance assessment. Keeping both practicality and validity in mind, we should probably use a performance assessment:

b. whenever we want to assess students' achievement of higher-level objectives.
c. only when a paperpencil assessment cannot give us sufficient content validity.
d. as often as possible.
