Learning happens in a cycle of experience, thinking, reflection, and action and certain individuals have different learning processes because they have a different order of the cycle. 

38. How is assessment related to teaching AND learning? 

Assessment lets both the learner and the teacher know where they need to improve. It allows the student to know what areas of the content they need to improve on, and it lets the teacher know where they need to diversify their teaching method in order to serve the class better. 

39. Describe each of the following AND give at least one example of each.

40. When are assessments MOST effective?  Conversely, when are they LEAST effective? They are most effective in the middle of learning the material because they give the student time to improve on their skills on certain areas before taking a more high stakes test. They are least effective after the material has been learned because they don’t give students a chance to improve their skills.
