Performance assessment methods

A. Performance assessment: a written examination, typically consisting of computational exercises, and to a lesser extent theoretical questions and/or test questions, to assess the practical application of the theory. B. Performance assessment: written assignment (case study) to be submitted and presented to assess the practical application of the subject matter. C. Classroom activity.
