Assessment Assessment 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, and guiding and motivating students to be actively involved in their own learning. As such, assessment provides important feedback to both instructors and students. 14
