"Assessment is the process of gathering information that accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the curriculum expectations in a course. The primary purpose of assessment is to improve student learning. Assessment for the purpose of improving student learning is seen as both 鈥渁ssessment for learning鈥� and 鈥渁ssessment as learning鈥�. 

As part of assessment for learning, instructors provide students with descriptive feedback and coaching for improvement. Instructors engage in assessment as learning by helping all students develop their capacity to be independent, autonomous learners who can set individual goals, monitor their own progress, determine next steps, and reflect on their thinking and learning.鈥� *
