Student progress check

Learning assessment refers to the systematic process of measuring what students know, understand, or can do.

It encompasses tests, quizzes, projects, observations, and other methods educators use to evaluate progress toward learning goals.

Assessments may be formative (ongoing, to guide instruction) or summative (final, to measure achievement).
