Assessment

evaluation technique for technology that requires analyzing benefits and risks, understanding the trade-offs, and determining the best action to take in order to ensure that the desired positive outcomes outweigh the negative consequences. Techniques used to analyze accomplishments against specific goals and criteria. Ex. tests, surveys, observations, and self-assessment.
