CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES
Through close observation of students in the process of learning, the collection of frequent feedback on students' learning, and the design of modest classroom experiments, teachers can learn much about how students learn and, more specifically, how students respond to particular teaching approaches. Classroom Assessment helps individual college teachers obtain useful feedback on what, how much, and how well their students are learning. Faculty can then use this information to refocus their teaching to help students make their learning more efficient and more effective.
Classroom assessment techniques are very important because it is effective in determining in which direction you should instruct your class. You may be teaching the same course in two separate sections, but based upon the results of student assessments, the teaching method may be quite different in each.
