Problem:

Dressel (1986) defines evaluation as "the collection and interpretation, through systematic and formal means, of relevant information which serves the basis for rational judgment in [learners'] decision situations". Assessment, on the other hand, is described what students and teachers consider important and meaningful and how they utilize their newly acquired knowledge and skills. Evaluation allows one to observe a learner's progress, as well as the success of educational programs in which they participate. Hanson et al. (1996) further indicate that "the purpose of student assessment, either through observable performance, product development, or traditional paper and pencil tests, is to provide data to the instructor indicating to what degree the performance objectives have been mastered".

Show the relevance of evaluation and assessment as proposed in the above statement in relation to your own experience as a teacher. Explain your answer using examples.
