Authentic assessment focuses on application of 课程 knowledge to a new situation using complex, real-world situations that require a student to think about application of knowledge and skills in society rather than 就在教室里. This moves instructors away from multiple choice and memorization, will improve learning, and limit academic dishonesty.
