“Diagnostic assessments inform both teacher and learner of current abilities and specific future needs”. (Machin, Hindmarch, Murray, & Richardson, 2016, p. 94) If possible this should be performed before the students start the course, as this diagnostic assessment will assess whether the student is suitable for the course.
