Types of Assessment Tests and Techniques-I

Classroom assessment is the process of collecting information from your students about
their experience as learners in your class. There are many different ways of collecting
information, depending on what you are teaching and what kind of information teacher
need.
All types of assessment are based on the principle that the more clearly and specifically
to understand how students are learning, the more effectively teacher can teach them.
When assessing the classroom, some issues to consider are how to allow all students to
contribute, how to respond to the student feedback, and how often to collect feedback.

course-related knowledge and skills; (b) learner attitudes, values, and self-awareness; and
