If the intention of the affective assessment is to utilize the outcomes as supporting input
to grading, then multiple approaches is essential and be mindful of the plausibility of

feedback in a comparative form for specific particular features/products/services.

oral questioning and oral test.
 The informal assessment methods that teachers most often use during instruction are

 During teaching, teachers not only have to communicate the information they planned
