Evaluation conducted by the teaching institution is known as which?

• A. Internal Assessment
• B. External Assessment
• C. Synoptic Assessment
• D. Diagnostic Assessment

Answer: (A)

Internal assessment is the evaluation carried out within the teaching institution itself, typically through coursework, assignments, or portfolios marked by tutors. This fits the description because the question specifies an evaluation done by the teaching institution, not by an external body. External assessment, by contrast, is set and marked by an outside examining body. Synoptic assessment tests the ability to integrate knowledge across modules, usually later in the course, while diagnostic assessment at the start identifies learners’ strengths and gaps to guide teaching. So, the best match for an evaluation conducted by the teaching institution is internal assessment.
