It involves systematically gathering and interpreting evidence to determine which learning goals have been achieved (Brookhart, 2013). A robust assessment system not only measures student performance but also shapes how students learn. By engaging students in the assessment process and providing timely feedback, faculty can foster a deeper understanding of course content and develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
