Reflect on the idea that tests are the only objective assessments of student learning.

In my opinion, it would not be fair to make tests the only objective assessments of students. Students need a variety of ways to demonstrate their knowledge of what they have learned. Some students are not good test takers because they know the information but do poorly as a result of being too nervous. In todays society, we are dealing with the age of technology. Technology is always changing and can provide students with alternative ways to present what they have learned and mastered over a period of time. Teachers need to be able to find innovative ways to reach the students that they teach and this includes offering alternate assessments.
