Assessment methods are tools used to evaluate a person's knowledge, skills, or performance. They can take various forms, such as tests, quizzes, projects, or presentations. These methods help educators and employers understand how well someone has grasped a subject or completed a task, guiding future learning or development. Different assessment methods serve different purposes. For example, formative assessments are used during the learning process to provide feedback, while summative assessments evaluate overall achievement at the end of a course or project. By using a mix of these methods, instructors can gain a comprehensive view of a learner's progress and areas for improvement.
