"Classroom assessment is something all teachers do as part of their responsibility for enhancing student learning and motivation, documenting student performance, and reporting results for accountability purposes. Assessment is a constant cycle of improvement. The goal of assessment, whether for an academic department or a program, is to provide: (a) a clear conceptualization of intended student learning outcomes, (b) a description of how these outcomes are assessed and measured, (c) a description of the results obtained from these measures, and (d) a description of how these results validate current practices or point to changes needed to improve student learning"-- Provided by publisher.
