Thanks for sharing Salvatore. I really like how you have demonstrated a very effective use of an assessment tool. By using your form of assessment you are using a more affirmative form of learning with your students. Assessments can take many forms and satisfy many needs in education. Some assessments are essential to measure learning while others are used to enhance learning. The trick in my experience has been to discuss this process with students so they understand the role that assessments play and they are not be be feared but used to gain a better understanding of the materials they will need for other parts of an existing course or may need in future courses.
