either in outcome or approach; no one right answer or way
Higher-order
lower-order skills should be required, but the higher-order skills are the goal
Authentic
connected to real-life situations; meaningful to the student
Long-term
tasks should typically (though not always) take more than one sitting to complete, allowing students to spend time building skills around a single context
Assessment through a Rubric
students should know ahead of time exactly how the outcome is assessed; demystifying the grading criteria
