In your opinion is there a difference between an assessment and an evaulation?

Hi Joanne,

not in the dictionary sense of the words where ‘to assess’ and so ‘evaluate’ are synonyms.

“Evaluate or estimate the nature, ability, or quality of: “the committee must assess the relative importance of the issues”.
Calculate or estimate the price or value of: “the damage was assessed at $5 billion”.
Synonyms
appraise – evaluate – estimate – rate – value – judge”

It would be up to individuals to make a distinction for themselves in how they choose to operate but to me those words mean the same.
