Assessment Terminology


Indirect Assessment: Gathering information about student learning by looking at indicators of learning other than student work output. This assessment approach is intended to find out about the quality of the learning process by getting feedback from the student or other persons who may provide relevant information. It may use surveys of employers, exit interviews of graduates, focus groups or any number of Classroom Assessment Techniques (e.g., minute papers, muddiest point papers or one sentence summaries).
