Assessment is important

“The assessment of actual performance in practice is essential to the quality management sciences. …Because of the events of the past decade; assessment faces a new set of challenges. The venue has moved from the relatively controlled and homogeneous settings of education to the uncontrolled and heterogeneous world of work. These serve to identify areas for improvement, signal whether goals have been achieved, and respond to the public’s increasing demands for accountability…This creates significant new challenges for the conduct and meaning of assessment.”

Norcini, J. J. (2005). "Current perspectives in assessment: the assessment of performance at work." Med Educ 39(9): 880-9.
