Directions: Before beginning to evaluate these assessment tasks, it is a good idea to locate the separate parts of the performance objective. Then compare each part of the objective to all parts of the assessment task. Here is the first performance objective in this quiz broken down into its parts:

Conditions: (Given a video of a salesperson delivering a persuasive speech);

Behavior: (evaluate);

Content: (the variation in the speaker's voice);

Criteria: (using his/her pitch, pace, volume, enunciation, and emphasis).

In this practice, break each performance objective into its separate parts prior to evaluating the congruence between the objective and assessment task.

7 Examine the following performance objective and intended matching assessment task. How would a designer evaluate the quality of the example assessment task?
