Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between evaluated and assessed?

They overlap heavily. Assessing tends to mean measuring something against a standard to find out where it stands; evaluating adds a judgement about worth or effectiveness — whether it was any good, or worth doing. In education, assessment measures the learner and evaluation judges the course.

What does 'the expression is evaluated' mean in programming?

It means the computer works the expression out and reduces it to a single value before using it. Order matters: in many languages the arguments to a function are evaluated before the function itself runs.
