A teacher assigns a 5th grade student an online reading software that provides different
e-books with built in assessments throughout. As the student progresses through a
book, a learning quiz will pop up to check for understanding. If the student gets the
question correct, the student will continue to progress on through the e-book. However,
if the student answers incorrectly, the software will point the student directly back to the
previous chapter where the content from the learning check was covered. Students get
a gold star for each learning check that they master, but will lose that star if they answer
the question incorrectly and are forced to go back. Which type of assessment is built
into this reading software? - Answers :Ipsative
In a college biology course, students construct a model of the nervous system in the
human body. The learning objective is "Investigate the functions of the nervous system."
