The assessment type that typically has the least effect on your overall grade is the "quick check." Quick checks are usually short, informal assessments that are used to quickly gauge a student's understanding of a specific concept or skill. They are often given as a formative assessment to provide feedback to both the student and the teacher. Since quick checks are typically low-stakes and only cover a small portion of the material, they generally have less impact on your overall grade compared to more comprehensive assessments like tests, quizzes, or portfolios.
