III. Course Description:
This is a course that focuses on the principles, development, and utilization of conventional assessment tools to improve the
teaching-learning process. It emphasizes on the use of assessment of, as, and for, in measuring knowledge, comprehension, and
other thinking skills in the cognitive, psychomotor or affective domains. It allows students to go through the standards step in test
construction and development and the application in grading systems.
