Classroom assessment is conducted for the specific purpose of improving teaching and learning within a specific class. It completes a short‐term feedback loop in which the measure and feedback occur almost continuously. Curricula with strong assessment plans will contain classroom assessment components. Five examples of classroom assessment are discussed. It is seen that these methods can be used in conjunction with cooperative learning exercises and the development of higher‐level thinking skills. The result of using classroom assessment is improved teaching, improved learning, and a higher‐quality graduate.
