classroom assessment

In-class testing method

Classroom assessment refers to the methods teachers use to evaluate student learning within their courses—tests, quizzes, projects, observations, and informal checks for understanding.

Unlike standardized testing, classroom assessment is ongoing and shaped by the instructor: The professor uses classroom assessment to adjust her teaching mid-semester.

It measures both what students have learned and what they still need.
