We have studied that good assessments are meaningful, which hints that assessments are not always so.
Have you found assessment as an always meaningful, purposeful experience, or had there been
occasion(s) that you found it something to dread about? Cite memorable experience(s) about one or
both. How can you use understanding from this module to shed light on (e.g., explain, justify, rectify)
such experiences.

Assessment is an important component of today's educational system. Assessment functions as an
individual evaluation system as well as a means of comparing performance across a range and across
populations. However, with so many various types of assessments available (and even mandated) for so
many different institutions#these days, it can be difficult to keep the true objective of assessing in mind.
The goal of assessment is to obtain meaningful information regarding student performance or progress, or
to establish student interests in order to make decisions about their learning process. After acquiring this
information, teachers can tailor their teaching strategies by reflecting on each student's degree of success
as well as the tendencies of the group. Continuous assessment gives day-to-day input on the learning and
teaching processes. Assessment can boost the effectiveness of teaching and learning. It also promotes a
concept of teaching as a formative process that grows over time with feedback and involvement from
students.
Assessment is necessary because students who are having learning difficulties may benefit from it
through#which a teacher will able to detect learning issues such as reading comprehension issues, an
inability to remember written or spoken words, hearing or speech difficulties, and problems with hand-
eye coordination, and they typically complete a summative assessment after finishing the study of a topic.
Their degree of achievement can be assessed, and the teacher can provide those comments on their assets
and limitations. Teachers can utilize the results of the exam to develop a plan for remediation for pupils
who didn't grasp the subject or skill. On the other hand, during my high school years, I noticed that a
written formal assessment alone does not give a complete picture of student achievement. Students with
stronger vocal and visual performance abilities as well as exceptional creativity are at a disadvantage. The
curriculum may be trimmed to teach to the test if teacher performance is judged by students' performance
on standardized tests. Alternative assessments may or may not be useful, but it is certain that this
argument will continue for some time to come.
In this module, I learned that an individual can enhance your skills in your area of interest through
assessment. One can learn what suits them best by analyzing their strengths and limitations. From there,
one can try to hone their abilities in the relevant field. Students should understand that conducting
assessments after each lesson is complete is akin to completing a learning objective. Numerous aspects of
education are impacted, including grades, placements, curricula, school finance, and curriculum
requirements. Everyone must complete assessments because they play a crucial role in determining what,
