Assessments

There are many great teachers who know how to explain their subject very well due to their great knowledge about that subject. But even the best of teachers have to make sure that their students are learning their material, otherwise it would be pointless to teach a class. That is why assessments are as equally important as knowing the subject. Evaluating students is important since it opens a window for the teacher to see how much or little students have been learning. It also gives the teacher the opportunity to help students on certain topics that they did not get a good grasp of, before its too late. It should not be seen as a form of grading students only, but as a form of detecting their weaknesses early enough to help them. On the other hand it is also important for students to evaluate techers, like it is mention on chapter 11 of our Economic's book "Economics for teachers". Asking questions is many times important to see how much a teacher knows about a subject. The way ateacher teaches a class is also important and it will be reflected on tests taken by students. The better techniques and knowledge a teacher has, the better education a student will get. In conclusion, evaluation is a perfect way to engage students in a class because the teacher will show interest in helping students out.
