2. What is Assessment?
Assessment is the systematic gathering of information about what students know and are able to do.
It involves collection of evidence, and then making judgements about what that evidence means.

3. Formative and Summative Assessments
Diagnostic assessment is used to help students identify areas of strengths and weaknesses, as well as potential abilities
Formative assessment refers to constructive feedback given to the students while they are actually undergoing learning so as to effect improvement
Summative assessment is used to measure the extent of learning that
has taken place at the end of a course or a part of a course.
