How students should utilize assessments.

The role of assessment for the students is to make sure that what they are getting from class or studying is what is expected of them. If the assessment is difficult to the point where minimal progress is made and it is extremely difficult, then the student needs to assess their own place (meta cognition) within the class expectations.

Students should use assessment to either encourage themselves that they are on the expected path or to correct their learning so that they are on the path laid out by the instructor. I apologize for saying path but I cannot think of a better term for what a professor should be doing with the laying out of knowledge.
