Student Learning Evaluation via Course Assessment: Evidence from Some Business Courses

Abstract

Effective assessment is not separated from good teaching and learning. As one would use more than one method of teaching, a course would employ more than one method of assessment. Moreover, assessment activities are carried out at different times throughout the semester so it can be known how students are learning. An assessment plan lays out a well thought out selection of assessment methods that are aligned to the objectives and intended learning outcomes of the course or programme. Course assessment is important because it has a strong impact on learning and is an indicator of the quality of learning occurring in the lecture. This article is providing a description of some assessment methods in some business courses and suggesting some ways that assessment practices lead to improving and different types of learning.
