* Audit-ive Assessment: Assessment, which only determines whether students learned correctly, rather than helping them learn, which
educative assessment promotes.
**Backward-Looking Assessment: Assessment is constructed to determine whether students got the material they studied.
***Forward-Looking Assessment: Assessment is constructed to determine whether students are ready for some future activity, after
the current period of learning is over.
