Academic assessments are tools used to measure a student's understanding and skills in various subjects. These assessments can take many forms, including tests, quizzes, projects, and presentations. They help educators evaluate how well students are grasping the material and identify areas where they may need additional support. The results of academic assessments can inform teaching strategies and curriculum development. They provide valuable feedback to both teachers and students, guiding future learning and improvement. Common types of assessments include formative assessments, which occur during the learning process, and summative assessments, which evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional period.
