Philosophy of Assessment

Assessment is the process of forming a judgment about the quality and extent of student achievement or performance, and therefore by inference a judgment about the learning itself. Assessment inevitably shapes the learning that takes place; that is, what students learn and how they learn it should reflect closely the purposes and aims of the course of study.

The aims of assessment include:

improving the quality of the curriculum (courses and programs);
evaluating the effectiveness of the teaching process and facilitating continuing improvement;
improving and promoting subsequent learning through feedback that is clear, informative, timely and relevant;
formally certifying achievements for external audiences; and
accountability to the University, accrediting bodies, employers and the wider community.

Six methods of assessment commonly used at the University:
