Hello I use a mix of both subjective and objective assessments in my classrooms. Many times, it depends upon the specific course and the objectives of that course. I see the value of both using objective and subjective methods when evaluating student’s progress. I like to use true/false, multiple choice, and matching question when the subject is very factual based such courses include (but not limited too) geography, economics, and maybe even computers. However, for other types of courses such as history, sociology, and psychology, I have found that a subjective assessment is a better way of assessment. Subjective assessment grants the students an opportunity to prove mastery of a particular topic and connect both the micro to macro view of said knowledge through an essential question, usually generated through a socratic question. Of course, along with the subjective assessment, the grading rubric is essential. I will never test a student subjectively without them first having access to and the opportunity to review the corresponding rubric. This allows the student to understand what is expected of them and it all ties back to the course objective and goals. Any time we instructors generate an assessment it has to be based on the standard course of study or course objectives to appropriately know that learning is taking place.
