Abstract: University-level business and accounting education should be more innovative than lower levels of education. Innovative education refers to a blend of different types of assessment in the study curriculum to address the diversity among students enrolled in courses at the tertiary level. The objective of this study was to analyze whether students from different ethnic groups perform differently in assessments due to different levels of cognitive skills. We conducted two types of analysis. Firstly, we analysed 37 essay questions extracted from four examinations papers set over two years for an undergraduate taxation course.
