# assignments that encourage students to do independent study - having them solve problems and answer questions that are not necessarily to be found at the end of the textbook; these must be regularly given and should be regularly evaluated

(iii) having formal experimentation classes and observing how students work in a lab setting - however this can be done only if the lab classes have been a part of the regular teaching-learning. In high school (upto class 10) the objective of working in a lab class is to learn how to work in the lab and not necessarily learn the content and how to work in a lab is a skill that must be taught separately!

# participation in classroom discussions (this could be difficult in a large classroom) but can be facilitated better using ICT [example - use a video to facilitate a discussion and observe the responses/ comments and participation from the children]

# tests (every 2 months/ quarterly, etc)

(v) tests (every 2 months/ quarterly, etc)

# Midterm and Final Examinations

(vi) Midterm and Final Examinations

These can be done by each term.  The next step is to arrive at a weightage for the exam and the other components.  For example, this weightage could be 60% and 40%.  (In the ICSE, these other components from (i) to (v) constitute internal assessment and have weightage of 40%. Within the 40% of non-exam based assessment, how much weightage you want to give for regular homework, projects, lab etc. can be decided based on the school.)
