摘要
'The assessment of students is ct serious and often tragic enterprise.'(1) The central question in assessment is 'What is one trying to assess?'. Is it factual knowledge, ability to apply and problem solve, clinical competencies or indeed other attributes?

This article sets out to describe these features.(2)
