The primary purpose of assessment of learning outcomes is to measure student achievement, provide feedback to students, and identify areas for improvement.

Diagnostic assessment is not a type of assessment of learning outcomes. It is a type of assessment that is used to identify students' strengths and weaknesses in order to plan for instruction.

A teacher-led discussion is an example of formative assessment because it allows the teacher to provide feedback to students on their understanding of the material.

A final exam is an example of summative assessment because it is used to measure student achievement at the end of a unit or course.

A portfolio assessment is a collection of student work that demonstrates the student's progress and achievement over time.

Formative assessment is used to provide feedback to students on their understanding of the material, while summative assessment is used to measure student achievement at the end of a unit or course.

Assessment of learning outcomes can be used to help teachers identify areas where they need to improve their instruction by using formative assessments to identify areas where students are struggling, using summative assessments to identify areas where students are not achieving the learning objectives, and using portfolio assessments to identify areas where students are not making progress over time.
