ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a model to re-balance assessment schedules through the quantification of students’ workload. The initiative derives from the migration of a term-based to a semester-based calendar in a HE institution. The change required scrutiny of former and new assessment calendars which highlighted deficiencies in the administration of engineering courses, such as the uneven distribution of assignments during the academic year. The model and its application derived recommendations to achieve a better balance of workloads, past reflection on nexus between students learning experience and the outcome of mechanisms to evaluate the quality of education.

重新平衡半学期衍生的评估方法

摘要

本文提出了一种通过量化学生的工作量来重新平衡评估计划的模型。该计划源于高等教育机构将基于学期的日历过渡到基于学期的日历。此项更改要求对以前和新的评估日历进行仔细检查，从而突出显示工程课程管理方面的缺陷，例如学年作业分配不均。该模型及其应用程序提出了一些建议，以实现工作量的更好平衡，这是过去对学生学习经验与评估教育质量的机制之间的联系的反思。
