understanding? How often to we ask if or say that we understand

Assessing Knowledge, Skills Assessing Knowledge, Skills and Understandingand Understanding
Knowledge is easily assessable by tests, check ups and quizzes.
Skills is difficult to assess out of context, no right/wrong. Skills need to be assessed more than once, as they are developmental.
Understanding is more complex. It is longer, multidimensional process. Can we ever truly assess understanding?

They are able to look straight ahead when juggling and can automatically sense where to throw the balls
