This presentation talks about the concept of Assessment & testing, when looked at from a student view point. Our education system has assessments integrated in its structure. However, the conventional approach towards this idea is to report a student as success or failure based on the results. This presentation postulates that any student / learner is getting impacted by the test results in one way or the other. It looks at both sides of the coin with an objective to stress the need for a new testing approach that is more efficient and effective. And leaves student with a positive frame of mind.
