Assignment Based Learning 

At Oxford Knights College (OKC) we believe assignments and assessments are a key part of learning. For this reason, our assessment strategy includes assignment-based learning. 

Completing assignments is an opportunity to demonstrate your achievements and allow you to review the feedback you receive from us to easily measure your progress and achievements in relation to the standards set by the course and our college. OKC’s Assignments and Assessment Policy is devised to be able to make it clear what is required and expected from both the student and staff, ensuring that all students have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and receive accurate and useful feedback on their work. 

Assignment and examination-based evaluation are two of the most common assessment methods for evaluating the progress of students in their learning. Moreover, the essential purpose of evaluating student learning is to determine whether the students are achieving the learning outcomes laid out for them.

 

Assignment based evaluation Vs Exam based evaluation 

Now the big question is, which one is more effective? An assignment-based evaluation or an exam-based evaluation.

Research and records indicate that, over the last 40 years in the United Kingdom and other nations, the assignment-based evaluation or completion of the module assessment of higher education coursework (postgraduate, Master’s & Ph.D.) has significantly enhanced. This has been exemplified in numerous academic research articles. It is likewise recognized that a higher proportion of learners themselves chose to be assessed along with the basis of coursework or assignment. The study also shows that the assignment-based assessment continues to yield a better score than the examination alone

 

Advantages of Assignment based evaluation 

Assignment-based assessments can encourage higher teaching and learning experiences for students to think critically, develop new perspectives, resolve problems, navigate incidents, and ask the right questions. The project results in better learning skills for students in general. Here are some of the distinct benefits of assignment-based evaluation:

• Enhances cognitive and analytical capabilities – The rational reasoning of students is strengthened. They will get the opportunity to exercise and develop their mental and innovative ability. Assignments offer students a chance to experiment while becoming unconventional. It offers students the ability to be more productive and flexible.
• Learners become research-oriented –Through their assignments, students are required to carry out an in-depth study of their specific topic. By doing so, they are throwing out different theories and exploring their subject. Research on their assignment experience also enhances the student’s practical and thought-provoking skills at a professional level.
• Increases cognizance and understanding about the topic — Assignments allow students to understand the technical and practical information about their subject that they cannot completely grasp in theory. Students become more aware of various insightful principles and perspectives through their coursework, which ultimately leads to the rational development of a framework for their topic.
• Improves the technical writing skills – Students are likewise expected to compose their assignments in the form of reports and on a certain study or scenario.The writing skills and talents are strengthened in this way. In the long term, students can articulate their thoughts and ideas more efficiently. 

At Oxford Knights College (OKC) we have implemented an assessment-based evaluation approach to assess the learning of our students.

 

Assignements Workshops

 

Oxford Knights College (OKC) has created webinars for all subjects and diplomas that give guidelines to all students how to write the assignments. In addition, we offer optional assignments workshops. In these workshops, our instructors are offering 1 on 1 coaching in order to help students that find it difficult to finish their assignments.
