Accuracy an assessment tool must be accurate. Accuracy is the state of being correct, free from mistakes. Algorithm are mental procedures that normally do not vary in application once learned. Alternative Assessment based on students’ abilities to perform meaningful tasks they may have to do in the “real-world”. Alternative Grading System refers to different ways of evaluating students’ learning and performance, other than the traditional points-based approach. Analysis The generation of new information not already possessed by the individual. Analyzing errors Addresses the logic, reasonableness, or accuracy of knowledge.
