- Description
- Assessment elements are analyzed and discussed to find quantitative nature of thesis assessment criteria linking with assessment components. Some of major criterion properties for thesis assessment were found from multiple choice and free response exams, and were further generalized for thesis assessment. A hierarchical structure of assessment elements in terms of compatibility and specificity is proposed for thesis assessment weight calculation. Selection principles of thesis assessment components and criteria were discussed on the basis of the hierarchical structure resulting from the assessment element analysis. An analogy between thesis assessment and a composite material in material science was proposed to represent quantitative nature of assessment elements. Mark allocation based on quantity and quality criteria are governed by the product law where as weight/mark calculation of individual assessment subordinate elements at the same level in the hierarchical structure is governed by the addition law. It is explained why assessment criterion weights should not set before assessment.
