assessment criteria
Evaluation measurement standards
Assessment criteria are the specific standards or benchmarks used to evaluate performance, quality, or achievement.
In education, assessment criteria spell out what students must demonstrate to earn particular grades or marks: The assessment criteria for the essay include thesis clarity, evidence use, and proper citation.
In professional contexts, they guide hiring decisions, project evaluations, or quality control.
Clear assessment criteria help ensure consistent, fair judgments across different evaluators or instances.
