Assess, briefly, maths problem at college (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
sum up
'assess briefly maths' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'problem at college' is the wordplay.
'problem' becomes 'sum' (arithmetic problem).
'at college' becomes 'up' ('up' can mean at university).
'sum'+'up'='SUM UP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sum up that I've seen before include "Recapitulate (as for jury)" , "(Of a judge) review the evidence" , "Money more than before" , "Provide a synopsis" , "Summarise" .)
