Role of Assessment and Learning

This study clearly defining assessment and its relationship to our student learning outcomes. It is therefore very helpful in ensuring students understand not just how the assessment fits into their learning but how all the practices and content we engage with assists them in achieving success in the course. Assessment and practice as well as clearly communicating this alignment to students can build mutual clarity on the learning journey and lessen students’ anxiety and questions. The role of assessment is to measure student attainment of the necessary skills and learning. So being able to demonstrate this connection in classroom and through the syllabus is very helpful in situating why we have made the assessment choices.
