Why do you evaluate?

EvaluationBesides it is an institutional requirement, I evaluate to check how well my students are understanding and learning what I am teaching, I evaluate to check if I am explaining and teaching correctly and enough for students to learn, and I evaluate to get information to improve teaching and learning.

I use Assessment and Evaluation as an ongoing process, this is during the whole course.
