What methods have you used or would you use to assess student learning?

"I like to assess my students' learning in both formal and informal ways. I have them create a concept map, because I find this to be an effective informal method of assessment. I do this about once a month so that I can see any advancements that are happening in their learning. A more formal way of assessment is regular in-class testing, which I also do."
