We employ assessment as a prime tool in support of program development. Assessment is the parent of Invention. Students share responsibility for assessing progress and quality. As much as possible we foster independent and peer assessment by students. We want them to learn how to shape and improve their own efforts.
Self assessment requires a strong grounding in the use of criteria and standards.
