This study is a part of a larger research about assessment views and practices in undergraduate and graduate programs of mathematics, physics, mathematics education and physics education departments. Assessment approach of an instructor who has been teaching in mathematics department is investigated. For this purpose, semi-structured interview is conducted with the instructor. Moreover, Algebra II course are observed and videotaped. Interview data are analyzed by using content analysis and observation data are analyzed by descriptive analysis. Analysis of data revealed a model of assessment that include modes of assessment. Although the instructor did not have a pedagogical training he is able to construct his own assessment model without having the conceptual knowledge about assessment of mathematical thinking.
