What is Assessment?

What is assessment? 
Assessment is when you assess a student's performance.  Checking for knowledge prior to or after teaching a concept.  Can be formal or informal but in ongoing.  Teacher observes a student looking to see where the student is grade level and age in a more personal and detailed way. 

Name three examples of an authentic assessment.
To me anthing other than the basic paper test.  For example:
1.  Project (performance of something read, by singing or rapping or acting out)
2.  Rubrics (using rubrics to grade by giving guidelines)
3.  Demonstrations/Experiments(having students create or recreate using what learned)
