creating assessments befor, during, and after while teaching a unit is very effective. before the unit being taugh, assessment of the students allow the teacher to know what the student already know and therefore aids the teacher to focus their lesson plan around what the student needs to know, during the teaching of the unit it is also important to assess the student to insure the level of comprehension and understanding of the subject being taught and lastly, assessment after the unit allows the teacher to know how well the student learned the infomration.
I agree with your post Tarek, assessing the students needs on a regularly is a sure sign that they are comprehending the knowledge in the class.
I definitely agree with you ,that regular assessment is needed to keep in touch with what the student is assimilating in your class.
Many students do not respond well in class, so they need to be assessed, or comprehension may be no existant. As instructors it is our job to make sure we are reaching them on some level.
