ASSESSMENT
It is a systematic determination of a subject’s merit, worth
and significance using criteria governed by a set of
standards; At school it means figuring out what someone
knows or has learnt.
The main functions of the assessment concern the controlling,
self adjustment of the system (feed back), also education and
social informative functions. By the assessment we control the
access of the student to situations in which the number of places is
limited.
