Answer to Question 1

Mr. Van Holten should probably use a criterion-referenced approach, because he wants to determine what writing and research skills his students have mastered and where their individual weaknesses lie. In other words, students' grades should reflect the extent to which they've accomplished the instructional goals and objectives for the class.

Answer to Question 2
