Skip to main content
Every unit is created with an assessment method attached. It is the last step of the create-unit stepper, and it shapes the assessment MESO builds later.

​
Finding a method

Search by method or category, then narrow with three filters.

​
Category

​
Depth

How much of the unit’s content the method covers:
  • Surface level content
  • Moderate coverage
  • Comprehensive coverage
  • In-depth coverage

​
Timing

  • On-going — runs through the unit
  • End-of-unit — sits at the end
MESO surfaces recommended methods for your subject above the rest, with the remainder grouped by category. Recommendations come from the subject and the outcomes you selected; they are suggestions, not constraints.

​
Coverage varies by subject, a lot

The number of assessment methods available differs substantially between subjects — some carry a handful, others carry over a hundred. This is a property of the specification, not a limitation of the picker.If a subject offers only a few generic-looking methods where you would expect a rich set, that is worth reporting to contact@mesolab.ai. A defect of exactly that shape was found and fixed in 2026, and it is the kind of thing that is invisible unless a teacher who knows the subject says so.

​
Changing it later

The method chosen at creation drives the unit’s assessment, which you can then edit directly. See Assessments and Rubrics.
