This paper aims to examine university teachers' awareness of assessment and its application within Master II students of didactics at Ibn Khaldoun University in Tiaret. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire is administered to students, while teachers are interviewed. Additionally, this study intends to determine the extent to which M02 students of didactics are aware of assessment and its importance for their career, given their study of a module titled "evaluation." The analysis of the obtained results suggests that university assessment practices have certain shortcomings and weaknesses. Addressing these gaps requires teachers' training to develop a qualified staff capable of implementing effective student assessment strategies.
