Classroom Assessment
Classroom assessment is a formative approach to assessment. Its main purpose is to improve the quality of student learning, not to provide evidence for grading students. It serves as a means for providing faculty with feedback about their effectiveness as teachers, and it gives students a measure of their progress as learners. Classroom assessment techniques, expertly utilized by faculty, provide information on what, how much, and how well students are learning.
