assessment: the measurement of a learner's potential for 
attainment, or of their actual attainment. A learner's potential can be 
assessed though various tests or measurement of attainment. 
Assessment can be diagnostic, formative, or summative. The use of 
self-assessment and self-evaluation is increasing.

proficiency of students in accordance with syllabus requirements.

the learners. 
authentic assessment: An assessment presenting tasks that 
reflect the kind of mastery demonstrated by experts. Authentic 
assessment of a student's ability to solve problems, for example, 
would assess how effectively a student solves a real problem.

cleaned-up, less background noise, less overlap of students. 
authentic task: School assignment that has a real-world 
application. Such tasks bear a strong resemblance to tasks 
performed in nonschool settings (such as the home, an organization, 
or the workplace) and require students to apply a broad range of 
knowledge and skills. Often, they fill a genuine need for the 
students and result in a tangible end product.
