Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multiple-choice test. To assess if student have gained basic knowledge, a test is the most appropriate assessment tool. A performance or written assignment would ask for an application of the knowledge, which is a separate level in Bloom's. A homework assignment may not be completed by all the students and is probably not the best option for knowledge assessment.
