Reflection

The MST did a diagnostic assessment for her students to know their level in Math,
sciences and English. She did a writing and oral assessment. The reason of doing
the diagnostic assessment is to differentiate them in the activities and put each
level in group. But the students group in each subject is different because same of
them are good in English but excellent in math or excellent in English but weak in
math. UAE need to have diagnostic assessment in her schools because it will make
the lesson plan and the activities easy of the teacher to do it. Also, its will help the
student to learn. Because if the teacher did not know their level, the student will not
learn. Because maybe the activity is too difficult or too easy.
