This document discusses the differences between subjective and objective tests in classroom assessment as assigned by Dr. Amjad Arain. Subjective tests allow for multiple correct answers and require evaluative judgment, potentially promoting deep knowledge but are time-consuming to grade. Objective tests, on the other hand, offer clear correct answers that are easy to score, ensuring higher reliability and validity but may limit student creativity and deeper understanding.
