As I think about the different types of assessments that I use for students, it is interesting to see all the different types of assessments, with both subjective and objective results. Some might say that tests are the only way to objectively assess a student, but I have found that to be untrue. For example, in my classroom, when we are first beginning media productions, we explore MovieMaker. In MovieMaker, when my students are submitting a project, I have a specific rubric that I want them to follow, and it is very objective. This graphic shows what they are responsible for in this project.
Additionally, there are things that have steps that must be followed precisely or they will not work properly. For example, baking a cake...if a step is left out of the baking (like forgetting the eggs), the cake will come out wrong. There is no subjectivity there.
This video discusses some of the differences between objective and subjective, and it clearly shows that subjective brings opinions and judgements into consideration. Both of the above examples depict ways that things are assessed without opinions, but focusing on facts.
