Answer to Question 2

In three paragraphs, the response should present and explain three of the following ideas:
 Assessments enhance motivation (usually extrinsic in nature).
 Assessments influence how students cognitively process classroom material.
 Assessments influence students' epistemic beliefs.
 Assessments communicate messages about which things are most important to learn.
 Assessment tasks can be learning experiences in and of themselves.
 Assessments provide feedback about what students have and have not learned.
 Assessments provide mechanisms that encourage students to review, practice, and/or apply what they've learned.
 If students are actively involved in evaluating their work, assessments promote self-regulation
