AMST Bite-Sized Module: Assessment Purpose & Use

All assessments are given because we want to do something with the assessment results. Making sure that ways in which we want to use the results line up with the design of an assessment is the most important part of assessing student learning. An assessment may be great for one purpose, but horrible for another. This module shows how the reasons we give assessments should connect to their design.
