Planning is part of preparation which is very crucial. Good planning will give good impact as well to the student while they are learning as well as the teacher in delivering the topic. When students learn effectively then they will have better understanding not merely memorizing the lesson. However, not all of teachers realize the importance of having good planning, especially for new teacher. In this case, the new teachers need assistance from the experienced teachers regarding lesson plan and preparation. Generally, teachers only focus on the lesson and forget to discover students characteristics. Understanding the students will help the teachers to prepare study plan well because it should be based on the students needs. A comprehensive planning will be very helpful but needs more effort to prepare. Practically, at the beginning of the class is the key of successful in teaching and learning.

There as several components of assessments i.e.: learning goal which means that there are standards of assessing can be based on local, national, or international.
