Choose the right assessment type for the right kind of objective.

A knowledge check is a short pause in the lesson to reinforce and spot gaps — you can be wrong and retry. A final assessment is evidence the learner met the objectives — it needs clear pass criteria. The golden rule: whatever verb the objective uses, the assessment must measure that verb. If the objective is 'conduct feedback using SBI' but you assess with a theory quiz → wrong tool.

Assessment types (not just multiple-choice)

Quiz — checks foundational knowledge, fast and easy to grade
Scenario decision — choose how to handle a situation
Demonstration / Role-play — perform the skill, graded by rubric
Work sample — a real product from work
Action plan — an application plan with a time commitment

Key takeaway: Whatever verb the objective uses, the assessment measures that verb.
