The simple answer is that it should happen at every stage of the learning process and should happen quite often. There are of course many different forms of assessment. So at the start of a course some form of diagnostic assessment should take place to see how much the learner knows. This can then be used as a form of ‘benchmark’ to be used later on to see how much progress has been made.

There are many different types of assessment that can be used throughout a course, from homework, projects, and in-class activities, to more formal tests. If you are required to give your students a chile number data number of tests each year – say three – one thing you could do is give them five and tell them to only use the best three. This flexibility will help ease the student’s mind a little.

Make assessment part of the teaching and learning process.
If you can build in regular assessment, even in every lesson, your students will get used to it and therefore be more comfortable.
