evaluation
Judgment of worth
Evaluation is the process of judging the quality, value, or condition of something.
Teachers write evaluations of students; employees receive performance evaluations from supervisors.
The word often implies systematic assessment against criteria: The evaluation found the program effective but underfunded.
To evaluate is to make such a judgment.
