This assignment delves into the significance of student assessment in identifying learning gaps and informing teaching strategies. It examines three key assessment types: formative, summative, and diagnostic. Formative assessments occur during instruction to gauge understanding, while summative assessments evaluate overall learning at the end of a unit or course. Diagnostic assessments, conducted at the beginning or end, pinpoint specific areas needing attention. The assignment emphasizes the importance of each assessment type at different stages of the learning process.
