Question 1
Challenges in the Assessment
In the course of the assessment there are quite a number of challenges. Key among these is the fact that someone has to be in a position to be able to think of certain things which may have to be out of the ordinary. At the same time an individual may have to violate some of the principles which he or she holds and finally the person may have to go against the relations he or she has with other people.
To some extent the assessment may be hard. This is because there are several people involved and each of them has a different view which may not be necessarily be held by another person.
When it comes to a situation in which a person is asking himself whether he is on the right track it nay point out that there is some element of doubt in the person and he or she would want to compare his or her performance to others who are viewed as being the standard. A person who is in a position to say he is in the right track is that who is able to match up with the set standard.
Assessment criteria is an important instrument as it is able to point out to an individual and also to others on the performance of a particular person in a particular activity. It can also help assess who is doing better than the other.
