evaluate student mastery of course objectives and how
well students apply what they've learned.
• Provide feedback: Tests can show what was or was not
communicated clearly to students.
• Motivate students: Well-constructed tests can reinforce
learning and motivate students.

assessments are valid and reliable, and have a specific
purpose.
