Correct Usage: Use "оценка" for general evaluations.

Error 2: Misusing cases with "оценка." For instance, "Я дал оценку его работа" (incorrect accusative) instead of "Я дал оценку его работе" (correct dative).

Correct Usage: Remember that "дать оценку" requires the dative case for the object being assessed.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian culture, "оценка" is heavily associated with the education system, where students receive grades (оценки) on a scale from 1 to 5. This cultural nuance may influence how the word is perceived compared to the more neutral "assessment" in English.
