Use exceptions for parameter validation and other checks which verify that the users of you classes use them as intended.
Use assertions for internal consistency checks, i.e. to indicate you screwed up, not the user of your class.
Thus, if users of your class see an assertion failure, they know it is (probably) an internal error in your code, not in their use of your code. On the other hand, if the get parameter validation exception, they know it’s their fault.
