Continuous assessment

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 40-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At universities, just as in schools, there has been dramatic evidence of grade inflation. Nobody argues that young people are growing suddenly more intelligent or much more conscientious so the explanation must lie elsewhere. A favourite explanation is changes either in the difficulty of exams or the marking systems. Cynics believe both: standards are dropping to keep parents, children, teachers and, most importantly, the government happy.
