Decision making simulations and other non-traditional methods aren’t just for presenting content, they can be used as assessments too. In other cases, a project or piece of sample work can be submitted. Keep in mind that assessments don’t have to be “cookie-cutter” and some skills can be assessed best in person or through sample work.
