Assessing Learning

An evaluation is a process of testing the skills, knowledge, or abilities that an individual has to ensure they have acquired new information and are prepared for training.
One way individuals can do this is by using checklists in order to assess their readiness before beginning any type of learning experience. A checklist might include items such as understanding fundamental concepts, knowing how various pieces fit together in a given task/project (e.g., project management), determining what sources exist beyond your own internal resources
These external resources could be other people you know who may share some expertise with you on the topic at hand.
