Assesment

14

AssessmentAssessment is more than grades:

To many, the word "assessment" simply means the process by which we assign students grades.

Assessment however is a mechanism for providing me with data for improving my

teaching methods, andguiding and motivating students to be actively

involved in their own learning. As such, assessment provides important

feedback to both instructors and students.
