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. a means of formative evaluation.
  b. a learning experience in and of itself.
  c. a way of giving concrete feedback to students.
  d. a way of minimizing the negative impact of high-stakes testing.
