Assessing student mastery is the sixth step within the seven steps of Decoding the Disciplines.

- ↑ At every stage of the Decoding process it is crucial to obtain regular feedback on what mental operations students have masted and what emotional obstacles might be present that would interfere with learning.
- At the beginning of a class it is important to know what bottlenecks are present in a particular group of students and what expectations they bring to the course about the processes used in the discipline and the subject matter that will be covered.
- Each exercise modeling and providing practice should include some process for determining the extent to which the students have mastered these particular operations
- At the end of a course it is important to evaluate the extent to which Decoding has succeeded and to prepare to respond to any continuing difficulties in the next iteration of the course.
