Question 303 - Difference between ¡®evaluation¡¯ and ¡®assessment¡¯
 |
Dear Graham
Would you let me know the difference between "Evaluation" and "Assessment"?
Thanks a lot.
From,

Dear Fong
I¡¯m guessing that you are talking about school. Both words are related to grading students for their work.
Assessment is done from students¡¯ work. Students produce work and teachers give them a grade.
e.g. I will give the students a grammar assessment next week. I hope they revise!
Evaluation can be based on what the teacher thinks of a student. Maybe there is no work to look at. It is just the teacher¡¯s feeling.
e.g. The NET teacher gives every student an evaluation of their oral English at the end of term. She told them how to improve.
Words ending in ¡®tion¡¯ and ¡®ment¡¯ are usually nouns. The verb forms are ¡®assess¡¯ and ¡®evaluate¡¯.
Best wishes
