Direct and Indirect Assessment

Direct assessment involves directly observing a candidate's performance and comparing it to criteria, such as by observing a group discussion and assessing their language skills based on a criteria grid. Indirect assessment involves gathering information through means other than directly observing work, like surveys, interviews, or forms asking for medical history rather than directly examining a patient.

anything?  Have I ever had a major operation,
and if so, for what purpose?
