Abstract

Continuous assessment represents a fundamental pedagogical tool in contemporary higher education, contributing to the improvement of the teaching-learning process and to the development of students' competencies. This article analyzes the role of continuous assessment in the context of higher education, exploring its advantages and disadvantages, practical implementation methods, as well as experiences from Romania and other European countries. The study highlights that continuous assessment, when properly applied, promotes deep learning, reduces anxiety associated with final examinations, and provides constant feedback for improving academic performance. At the same time, challenges are identified related to necessary resources, faculty workload, and the need for adequate preparation for the efficient implementation of this system.
