General views about the use of alternative assessment in this module
The following excerpts from the students' journals (translated into English by the researcher) illustrate the value of the assessment practices adopted to assess the learning of students who opted for this module:
"It is a very original and interesting way to assess this module"
"The best way to assess this module"
"I value that this course is assessed using four different methods, it provides an opportunity to learn from the beginning to the end knowing that assessment is integrated with teaching throughout the course"
"The procedures are very fair because assessment is incorporated into teaching and learning and it is a continuous activity"
"I like the continuous assessment in this course; there is less pressure when the final assessment comes. You are given an opportunity to revise and improve your writing throughout the course"
"The learner plays an active role in the assessment process"
"These assessment practices make you work constantly"
"It requires a lot of work on the part of the student"
Many more examples indicate that these innovative assessment practices are significant in contributing to an increase in the learners' intrinsic motivation to learn. Those comments reinforced some of the issues that had emerged earlier in the focus-group discussion, namely the integration between teaching, learning and assessment, and the active role of learners in the learning process. An emerging theme is the importance of using a variety of methods, especially those that align the teaching methodology and assessment to the learning outcomes (Biggs, 2003).
