An English teacher asks students to create a multimedia presentation analysing a novel's themes, characters and literary devices. Which assessment is most suitable to check the real-time progress of students?

Authentic assessment judges learners on real-world tasks and products, so a multimedia presentation analysing a novel is best checked by it, tracking progress as the work develops.

Summative assessment measures learning at the end of instruction, not the real-time progress of an ongoing project.

Norm-referenced assessment ranks a student against peers, which does not track the unfolding of individual work.

Ipsative assessment compares a learner's current performance with their own past performance, not real-time project progress.

Authentic assessment often uses rubrics and portfolios to capture the process, not just the outcome.

It is grounded in the constructivist view that learning is best shown through meaningful application.
