Abstract


Quality Teaching Learning practices play a fundamental role in developing human capital and knowledge workers. Student's assessment is the integral part of teaching and learning. To ensure proper learning appropriate assessment techniques are applied. With the emergence of Outcome Based Education (OBE) one has to ensure listed course outcomes and subsequent program outcomes have been attained. To evaluate different course outcomes different assessment techniques exists. This paper discusses a variety of innovative methods for the assessment of students. As a case study Computer Networks course outcome assessment techniques are considered. We have shown that combination of traditional along with project based assessment has helped in Course outcome attainment.The advantages and disadvantages of traditional assessment techniques and the new approaches are also discussed. A survey on the different methods is carried out and the results of the same are also presented.
