Do you use continuous assessment? Explain why/why not.
-Yes I do use continuous assessment because this is the way how students know their progress. This is really important and I believe that every teacher should do this in class. Otherwise students might feel puzzled about their achievements throughout the course.

Is continuous assessment difficult to evaluate?
In the beginning it could be a little bit challenging because we need to spot student´s strengths and weaknesses, but once we know what they do struggle with, it is easy to find ways to help them.

What information does continuous assessment give the teacher that tests don't give?
-Progress about their strengths and weaknesses and the areas where they need to work more on.

Does continuous assessment create more work for the teacher?
-Yes. It requires more work and patience for the teacher because the process of assessment is challenging and it gets worse when the teacher deals with many students.
