Summary/Abstract: Assessment plays a very important role both in our daily lives and in the educational process, as it allows us to identify our weaknesses and subsequently correct them. For this reason, I have chosen to address this topic in order to provide a synthesis of the particularities of assessment–a key component of the complex teaching-learning-assessment process within the context of applying the case study method and using the portfolio method as alternative forms of assessment in the instructional process. The didactic experiment conducted offers us the opportunity to observe indicators of progress, challenges, as well as potential solutions derived from the assessment process, highlighting the contrasting perspectives of the teacher and the student. Assessment, alongside teaching and learning, represents an essential component of the educational process, as it provides information about its quality and functionality. The concept of assessment has evolved over time. Initially, assessment was equated with measurement; later, objective-based pedagogy defined assessment as the process of determining the alignment between students’ academic results and predefined operational objectives. Today, assessment involves making value judgments regarding both the process and the product of student learning. Since there is no perfect method of assessment, I propose combining various approaches to provide a more accurate picture of students’ knowledge and competencies.
