Which one of the following illustrates how classroom assessments can affect students' epistemic beliefs?
 
  a. Susan thinks that art appreciation means memorizing the names of paintings and the artists who painted them because every test in her art appreciation class asks her to label a series of paintings and identify the painter of each one.
  b. Because Geraldine consistently receives low marks on assignments in her history class, she is convinced that her teacher doesn't like her.
  c. Duncan mistakenly believes that how well he does on his weekly spelling tests will be the determining factor affecting whether he is promoted to fourth grade.
  d. Martin has heard that Mr. Stewart's tests are really picky, so he is very anxious when he prepares for his first test in Mr. Stewart's class.

Question 2

On a weekly quiz, Mr. Harris asks students in his auto mechanics class to figure out what is probably wrong with a car when it has a certain set of symptoms.
 
  His students have never considered this particular combination of symptoms before, but they know everything they need to know in order to determine what must be wrong. Mr. Harris's test question illustrates the value of a classroom assessment as:
   a. The primary means of promoting intrinsic motivation
   b. A way of giving concrete feedback to students
   c. A way of minimizing the negative impact of high-stakes tests
   d. A learning experience in and of itself
