Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The instructor's statement indicates that they are trying to frame tests and quizzes as a challenge, rather than a threat or potential harm/loss. Therefore, the appraisal being elicited is a challenge appraisal. Option A, irrelevant appraisal, is not applicable since the instructor is specifically referencing the importance of assessments. Option B, harm/loss appraisal, is not applicable since the instructor is framing tests and quizzes as opportunities rather than potential sources of harm or loss. Option D, threat appraisal, is not applicable for similar reasons.
