Assessment of Outcome-Oriented Learning: External or In-Course?

Benoist, Howard

Alternative Higher Education: The Journal of Nontraditional Studies, v5 n4 p231-41 Sum 1981

One choice to be made in such programs is whether assessment of student learning should be carried out within course structures or external to them. Advantages to each approach are suggested. The overall recommendation is for external assessment. (Author/MLW)
