Means of assessment.

Assessment:

Assessment is a strategy used to collect information 

based on evidence to improve the process of learning

 or performance. 

Assessment is part of evaluation.  It is done by the 

teacher himself inside class during the presentation. 

This collected information is learner-centered, course 

based, frequently anonymous, and not graded.

 Assessment is the process of objectively

understanding the state or condition of a thing, by

observation and measurement.  Assessment of teaching means taking a measure of its effectiveness.

“Formative” assessment is a measurement for the

 purpose of improving it.

 It measures terms, knowledge, skill, attitudes, and 

beliefs.  It is a tool or method of obtaining information 

from tests or other sources about the achievement or 

abilities of individuals. Often used interchangeably

with test. 

Assessment can focus on the individual learner, the

learning community (class, workshop, or other 

organized group of learners), the institution, or the 

educational system as a whole.

 Assessment focuses on learning, teaching and 

outcomes. It provides information for improving 

learning and teaching.  Assessment is an interactive 

process between students and faculty that informs 

faculty how well their students are learning what they 

are teaching.

The information is used by faculty to make changes

in the learning environment,  and is shared with 

students to assist them in improving their learning 

and study habits. This information is learner-centered,

 course based, frequently anonymous, and not graded.
