We can also define assesment as measuring our students’ performance in any one of many different ways, diagnosing the problems and measuring the progress students make.(Harris and McCann,1994)

Evaluation: the process whereby we seek to interpret the assessment data and make appropriate professional judgments based on that data. (Trussel-Cullen, 1998)
