Similar to the computer assisted learning, teachers assess student learnings in ways that match the purposes to be met in having a student work through this package.

Homework applies to both the cognitive and motor skill domains.
If the purpose of the homework is motor skill improvement, a checklist or rating scale is appropriate. If the purpose is cognitive or attitudinal, for example, instruments can be designed accordingly. Assigned Questions are those prepared by the teacher to be answered by individuals or small groups of students with the students discussing their responses among themselves or with the teacher. If the questions are designed to be at the application level or higher then complex criteria are established. A sample rating scale, Rating Scale for the Assessment of Assigned Questions, is provided for your use.
