Evaluating the assessment is just as important as creating it. I learned that instructors should review whether an assessment actually measures the intended learning outcomes, is fair and accessible, and provides meaningful feedback to students. Evaluation also involves reflecting on student performance patterns to determine if instruction or the assessment itself needs adjustment.
I intend to apply this by reviewing assessment results for trends rather than focusing only on individual scores. If multiple students struggle with the same area, I will treat that as a signal to adjust instruction or refine the assessment criteria. I also plan to gather student feedback on assessments and use rubrics consistently to ensure transparency and fairness. This approach helps improve both student learning and instructional effectiveness over time.
