Project Title

Development of a New Assessment Method for CBME Laboratory

Project Leader

School / Dept

SENG / CBME

Project Duration

Feb 2009 - Jun 2010

Project Description

This project re-designed the lab course assessment from report-based assessment to comprehensive viva-like oral-based assessment and examination. The new assessment allowed students to demonstrate their in-depth understanding of relevant theory associated with the experiments, technology used in the experiments and the relevant theory related to the core lecture courses in CBME.

Project Outcome

• A more comprehensive curriculum of the lab course mapping with the learning outcomes was revamped and piloted.

• As a continuation, the assessments for lab course were refined and adopted to the consecutive laboratory courses.

• The assessments for a laboratory course were proposed.

• This lab course served as a prototype for integrating language training (particularly report writing and oral presentation skills) into a laboratory course.
