Assessment should be a growth-oriented process where rubrics serve as a clear map for students to understand expectations and regulate their own progress. It is essential that feedback is timely, positive, and connected to learning objectives, utilizing various media to humanize instruction and address classroom diversity. Ultimately, academic success is achieved when feedback guides problem-solving and fosters a constructive relationship between the instructor and the student. Everyone benefits when assessment is used to support learning rather than just to justify a grade.
