The primary focus of student-centered assessment is the ability of students to demonstrate their mastery of a topic. The goal of an assessment is not a final grade, but to create a learning experience in which the student is able to clearly communicate and demonstrate what they are learning. By varying the types of assessment offered, students can express themselves in a way that is most comfortable for them.
